The point that is farthest to the sun is called aphelion.
On July 5,2024, Earth reaches its farthest from the sun for the entire year, a moment astronomers call aphelion. The sun is at its smallest in the sky. It recieves less radiation from the sun, as heat, than at any other time of the year.Earth orbits the sun in a slight ellipse, which causes the distance between the two to vary throughout the course of a year. Earth reaches its annual aphelion two weeks after June’s solstice, the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
