The impact of the aphelion phenomenon

The aphelion phenomenon where the point of Earth’s orbit is farthest from the Sun has no impact on Earth’s climate.

“Absolutely no impact. Info on perihelion or aphelion on social media is a lot of hoaxes,” said Thomas.

Previously, information about the aphelion phenomenon was often shared on social media.

The information links the aphelion phenomenon which causes temperatures on Earth to become colder.

However, according to Thomas and the Meteorology, Climatography and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) statement, that information is not true.

Aphelion at a glance

Quoted from Almanacaphelion is the state when the Earth’s orbital point is farthest from the Sun.

The point in Earth’s orbit that is closest to the Sun is called perihelion.

These two terms come from the Ancient Greek, namely helios means “Sun” and apo means “far,” as well as peri means “near”.

The difference between the two orbital point distances is caused by the Earth’s orbit to the Sun which has an elliptical or oval-shaped path.

The aphelion phenomenon always occurs in early July. About two weeks after the June solstice at which the Earth is furthest from the sun.

While perihelion occurs in early January or about two weeks after the December solstice. At that time, the Earth was closest to the Sun.

In 2022, aphelion occurs starting July 4 at 03:10 Eastern Time. Earth will be 94,509,598 miles from the Sun.

While perihelion occurs on January 4 at 01:52 Eastern Time where the Earth is 91.406,842 miles from the Sun.
