So overall, our distance from the sun doesn\u2019t change much percentage-wise (a little over 3%). Today, we\u2019re about three million miles (five million km) farther from the sun than we will be six months from now. And it\u2019s in contrast to our average distance from the sun of about 93 million miles (150 million km).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, the word aphelion comes from the Greek words apo meaning away, off, apart and helios, for the Greek god of the sun. Apart from the sun. That\u2019s us, around now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What causes the seasons?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sunset-wiith-plane-Nancy-Ricigliano-June-13-2023.jpeg\" alt=\"-\" class=\"wp-image-540064\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sunset-wiith-plane-Nancy-Ricigliano-June-13-2023.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sunset-wiith-plane-Nancy-Ricigliano-June-13-2023-300x240.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sunset-wiith-plane-Nancy-Ricigliano-June-13-2023-768x614.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sunset-wiith-plane-Nancy-Ricigliano-June-13-2023-696x557.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sunset-wiith-plane-Nancy-Ricigliano-June-13-2023-525x420.jpeg 525w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sunset-wiith-plane-Nancy-Ricigliano-June-13-2023-150x120.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the seasons aren\u2019t due to Earth\u2019s changing distance from the sun. In fact, we\u2019re always farthest from the sun in early July during northern summer and closest in January during northern winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, the seasons result from Earth\u2019s tilt on its axis. Right now, it\u2019s summer in the Northern Hemisphere because the northern part of Earth is tilted most toward the sun. We\u2019re receiving the sun\u2019s rays most directly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, it\u2019s winter in the Southern Hemisphere because the southern part of Earth is tilted most away from the sun. The more indirect sunlight causes cooler temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earth\u2019s varying distance from the sun does affect the length of the seasons, though. That\u2019s because, at our farthest from the sun, like now, Earth is traveling most slowly in its orbit. Consequently, that makes summer the longest season in the Northern Hemisphere and winter the longest season on the southern half of the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, winter is the shortest season in the Northern Hemisphere, and summer is the shortest in the Southern Hemisphere, in each instance by nearly five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/aphelion-perihelion-earth.jpg\" alt=\"-\" class=\"wp-image-540066\" width=\"323\" height=\"321\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/aphelion-perihelion-earth.jpg 430w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/aphelion-perihelion-earth-150x149.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/aphelion-perihelion-earth-422x420.jpg 422w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/aphelion-perihelion-earth-200x200.jpg?crop=1 200w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/aphelion-perihelion-earth-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closest and farthest points tied to solstices?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer is no. It\u2019s true that Earth is farthest from the sun every year in early July, about two weeks after the June solstice. And it\u2019s true that Earth is closest to the sun every year in early January, about two weeks after the December solstice. Is it a coincidence? Yes, it is. Over the long course of time, the dates of Earth\u2019s closest and farthest points to the sun shift with respect to the solstices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to timeanddate.com:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to variations in the eccentricity of the Earth\u2019s orbit, the dates when the Earth reaches its perihelion or aphelion are not fixed. In 1246, the December solstice was on the same day as the Earth reached its perihelion. Since then, the perihelion and aphelion dates have drifted by a day every 58 years. In the short term, the dates can vary up to two days from one year to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathematicians and astronomers estimate that in 6430, over 4000 years from now, the perihelion will coincide with the March equinox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visual size difference when Earth farthest from sun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sun-Size-Difference-Perihelion2016-Aphelion2017-Mutare-Zimbabwe-Peter-Lowenstein-e1531004472567.jpg\" alt=\"-\" class=\"wp-image-540069\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sun-Size-Difference-Perihelion2016-Aphelion2017-Mutare-Zimbabwe-Peter-Lowenstein-e1531004472567.jpg 800w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sun-Size-Difference-Perihelion2016-Aphelion2017-Mutare-Zimbabwe-Peter-Lowenstein-e1531004472567-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sun-Size-Difference-Perihelion2016-Aphelion2017-Mutare-Zimbabwe-Peter-Lowenstein-e1531004472567-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sun-Size-Difference-Perihelion2016-Aphelion2017-Mutare-Zimbabwe-Peter-Lowenstein-e1531004472567-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sun-Size-Difference-Perihelion2016-Aphelion2017-Mutare-Zimbabwe-Peter-Lowenstein-e1531004472567-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/staging-7b2a-cerebrodigitalnet.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sun-Size-Difference-Perihelion2016-Aphelion2017-Mutare-Zimbabwe-Peter-Lowenstein-e1531004472567-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At aphelion, our most distant point from the sun, the sun does appear a bit smaller in our sky.
