At 3:54 PM In about the east on Thursday, July 3, the planet Earth will reach Afelion. The distance will be 94.5 million miles (152 million kilometers) from the sun. Six months ago, January 4 – Afelion – a distance of 3.4% less, which is 91.5 million miles (147 million kilometers) from the Sun.
Simply put, Afelion is the best point in the Earth from the Sun in its elliptical orbits. The orbit of the Earth is not perfectly round, but a little oval, so the distance between the earth and the sun always changes throughout the year. This phenomenon becomes a conventional cycle that occurs every year.
