The sun is simply a little bit closer in Earths sky right now.Earth is at its closest to the sun Tuesday (Jan. 4) in its 365.25-day journey. Earth was about 3 million miles (5 million kilometers) closer to the sun than it is at aphelion, when it is farthest from the sun, which takes place in early July. Kepler figured out that an unnoticeable line linking a world to the sun swept out an equivalent quantity of location over the exact same quantity of time throughout a worlds journey around the sun.
