Question

When does earth‟s perihelion occur?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Explanation:Apsis denotes either of the two extreme points in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body. The plural term, "apsides," usually implies both apsis points; apsides can also refer to the distance of the extreme range of an object orbiting a host body.

Answer 2

The Earth is closest to the Sun, or at the perihelion, about 2 weeks after the December Solstice, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, the Earth is farthest away from the Sun, at the aphelion point, 2 weeks after the June Solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying warm summer months.
