Question

Earths farthest point from the sun is called ________; it is ____ _______ miles; it occurs in ____ each year

Answer 1

Earth's farthest point from the sun is called aphelion, and it occurs in July each year when Earth is approximately 94.5 million miles from the Sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Earth's farthest point from the sun is called aphelion; it is approximately 94.5 million miles (152 million kilometers); it occurs in July each year.

The Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical, which means there are times when it is closer to the Sun and times when it is farther away.

At aphelion, Earth moves at its slowest pace along its orbit. On the other hand, when Earth is at the closest point to the Sun, known as the perihelion, it occurs around January 3-5 and Earth moves at its fastest. The average distance from Earth to the Sun is known as an astronomical unit (AU), which is about 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles.
