During aphelion, the Earth is approximately 4,800,000 kilometers (3,000,000 miles) farther from the Sun than it is during its closest approach, known as perihelion.

In contrast, perihelion occurs in early January, when the Earth is nearest to the Sun in its orbit. The difference in distance between aphelion and perihelion, although significant in terms of kilometers, has minimal impact on Earth's climate.

Aphelion, a term in astronomy, refers to the farthest point in the orbit of a celestial body such as a planet or comet from the Sun. This position marks the maximum distance that the body achieves during its orbital journey.

The Earth, being a planet, also follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Consequently, it has an aphelion point in its journey, where it is at its most distant from the Sun.
