The sun appears to be the closest to the Earth on January 3.
The orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle.
It is elliptical, or slightly oval-shaped.
This means there is one point in the orbit where Earth is closest to the Sun, and another where Earth is farthest from the Sun.
The closest point occurs in early January.
It is the minor axis of the elliptical orbit.
Astronomers call this the equation of time for the Sun.
