The National Astronomical Observatory reported that On January 2, planet Earth will reach its highest speed throughout the year, because it will record a speed of 110,700 kilometers per hour (30.75 kilometers per second).
The phenomenon is known as “Perihelion” and when the Earth is closer than ever to the Sun., about 147,093,051 kilometers away.
The Earth revolves around the Sun with an elliptical orbit of 930 million kilometers, at an average speed of 107,280 kilometers per hour, which means covering the distance in 365 days and almost six hours, so a jump is counted at every four years. .
The opposite of “perihelion” is “aphelion,” which is when we are furthest from the sun.. This phenomenon will take place on July 5, and the distance between the Earth and the Sun will be 152,100,375 kilometers.
According to experts, the data of these phenomena are not fixed, because it varies from year to year depending on the sequence of years depending on the calendar (some jump, others do not) with the duration of each orbit of the Earth around the Sun (the duration known as the tropical year).
Why is it colder if we are closer to the Sun?
This is the question we all ask ourselves after we hear the news; however, this actually depends on the inclination of the Earth’s axis of rotation.
Because of this, the northern hemisphere is closer to the winter sun, which makes their winters less cold than those of the southern hemisphere, therefore, summers are less hot in the northern hemisphere.
