Today the planet is farthest away from the sun
The US Naval Observatory said that the earth would reach the farthest point of the sun (aphelion) in its orbit at 4:00 GMT on July 5 (11am on Vietnamese time). At that point, the distance between the globe and the sun is about 152 million kilometers, Space said.
Our planet moved to the farthest point of the sun today, astronomers announced.
The US Naval Observatory said that the earth would reach the farthest point of the sun (aphelion) in its orbit at 4:00 GMT on July 5 (11am on Vietnamese time). At that point, the distance between the globe and the sun is about 152 million kilometers, Space said.
Earth often reaches the farthest point of the sun between July 2 and July 5.
The average distance between the earth and the sun is 150 million km. But because the earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a perfect circle, it has the furthest point and the closest point to the sun. The green planet reached the closest point to the sun in early February. At the farthest point, the distance between the celestial bodies was 3.28% higher and the amount of light that the Earth received was 7% smaller than when the earth came. closest point.
If you are in the United States today, you will see the temperature of the day in many states skyrocketing. With that situation, you will probably ask: Why is the temperature here increasing while the earth is about to reach the farthest point from the sun. That is an interesting question.
The phenomenon of rising temperatures in the US or any country in the world is not directly related to the distance from the earth to the sun. Because the earth axis tilted 23.5 degrees, the time of the sun appears above the horizon changes with the season. The tilt of the earth also causes the angle of the sun's rays to change with each stage of the year.
The globe does not reach the farthest point and the closest point to the sun on fixed days. In fact, it usually reaches the closest point from January 1 to January 5 and the farthest point from July 2 to July 5. Last year the earth reached the farthest point on July 4.
