A picture of earths orbital path?
elliptical.
How many months after earths perihelion position does earths aphelion position occur?
Earth's aphelion position occurs approximately six months after its perihelion position. Perihelion, when Earth is closest to the Sun, typically occurs around early January, while aphelion, when Earth is farthest from the Sun, usually takes place in early July. This timing is a result of Earth's elliptical orbit around the Sun.
Another name for the earths orbital period?
The year.
How much does earths orbit around the sun vary throughout the year?
Aphelion is 152,098,232 km (the distance when the Earth is furthest from the Sun in July) at that point it is moving slowest: 29,300 m/s. Perihelion is 147,098,290 km (in January when the Earth is closest to the Sun) the orbital speed is greatest: 30,300 m/s.
If an object left Earth which direction will it travel due to inertia and Earths rotation?
That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.
What is the distance from earth to the sun when it is nearest from the sun?
The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 147,098,290km (91,402,641 miles) at its closest (Perihelion).
What season is earths orbital velocity greatest?
Earth's orbital velocity is greatest during the Northern Hemisphere's winter, specifically around early January, when Earth is closest to the Sun in a position called perihelion. This increased speed occurs due to the gravitational pull of the Sun being stronger when the distance is shorter. Conversely, during the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, around early July, Earth is farthest from the Sun (aphelion) and moves more slowly in its orbit.
What is the scientific name for the date that the earths is closes to the sun?
perihelion
Why is Earths orbital velocity slowest on July 5?
Earth's orbital velocity is slowest on July 5 because that is when Earth is at aphelion, its farthest point from the Sun in its elliptical orbit. At this point, the gravitational pull from the Sun is weaker, causing Earth to move more slowly in its orbit.

What is earth inclination?
Earths orbital inclination is 1.57869°
How many months after earths perihelion position does earths aphelion position occur?

Perihelion, when Earth is closest to the Sun, typically occurs around early January, while aphelion, when Earth is farthest from the Sun, usually takes place in early July. This timing is a result of Earth's elliptical orbit around the Sun.
What time of the year does the earth orbit faster around the sun?
Orbiting bodies travel faster at the closest point of approach to the primary. Planets and comets travel fastest at perihelion, the closest point of approach to the Sun. With comets, it's really obvious; Halley's Comet, for example, orbits between close the Venus to beyond Neptune. In its 76-year orbit, it spends about 3 years inside the orbit of Jupiter, and 73 years beyond it. Same with Earth and the other planets, although the eccentricity of Earth's orbit is only about 3%. So the difference between "fast at perihelion" and "slow at aphelion" isn't very much. The Earth reaches perihelion in January, so that's when it is moving fastest. If the people in Australia wanted to brag about how their summers are hotter than ours in the Northern Hemisphere because they're closer to the Sun during their summer, they would have a very good point!

How does the sun's gravity and the earth's gravity affect each other?
they pull toward each other, but the earths orbital velocity compensates exactly for this acceleration together due to gravity a = (G* (m1+m2))/d^2 acceleration that balances this a = v^2/d : G = newtons gravitational constant m1 = sun mass m2 = earth mass d = distance between centres v = orbital velocity
