The National Astronomical Observatory reported this On January 2, planet Earth will reach the fastest speed it will have all yearas it will record a speed of 110,700 kilometers per hour (30.75 kilometers per second).
The phenomenon is known by name “Perihelion”, and it is when the Earth is closer than ever to the sun, about 147,093,051 kilometers away.
The Earth orbits the sun with an elliptical orbit of 930 million kilometers, with an average speed of 107,280 kilometers per hour, which means that the distance has to be covered in 365 days and almost six hours, hence a jump every four years counted. .
The opposite of “perihelion” is “aphelion”, which is when we are furthest from the sun. This phenomenon will occur on July 5 and the distance between the Earth and the Sun will be 152,100,375 kilometers.
According to experts, the dates of these phenomena are not fixedsince it varies from year to year according to the succession of years on the calendar (some jump, some not) with the duration of each orbit of the Earth around the sun (duration known as the tropic year).
Why is it colder when we are closer to the sun?
That’s the question we all ask ourselves after hearing the news; however, this actually depends on the tilt of the Earth’s axis of rotation.
This makes the Northern Hemisphere closer to the sun in winter, making their winters less cold than those of the southern hemisphere, therefore, summers in the northern hemisphere are less warm.
