The Earth will reduce its speed to a minimum on Thursday

The Earth will cross this 6th of July its farthest point from Sun ] in its orbit of this 2018, an astronomical landmark which is known as aphelion and which takes place every year between July 2 and July 7.

The moment A much larger separation will take place at 17:46 GMT, -12: 46, in central Mexico, when the Earth and the Sun will be 152 million 95,000 566 kilometers, reported Sky of the Earth .

According to Kepler's second law, this distance is further translated into the lower orbital speed of the translation with 103 thousand 536 kilometers per hour, more than 7 thousand kilometers per hour slower than in perihelion, recorded on January 3rd.

displacement to dim the earth does not carry a perfect but elliptical circular path. Counterpoint is perihelion – the smallest separation of Sun -, and this year it was January 4th. The difference with perihelion is about 5 million kilometers.

Kepler noted that the line connecting the planets and Sol covers the same area in the same amount of time. This means that when the planets are near Sun on their orbit they move faster than when they are farther apart. Thus, the orbital speed of a planet will be lower at a greater distance from the Sun and at lower distances the speed will be higher than the Earth is further away from Sun in the middle of the summer has nothing to do with the seasonal heat in the northern hemisphere or winter in the hemisphere South. It is the greatest number of hours of Sun due to the inclination of the Earth's axis, which governs the rise or fall of seasonal temperatures.
