Aphelion
Earth is farthest from the Sun during Northern Hemisphere summer, defying expectations
9 Feb 2026
0
Why does Earth experience summer during aphelion, when it is farthest from the Sun?
Because Earth receives more solar energy at aphelion due to its orbital speed
Because Earth's orbit is perfectly circular, so distance doesn't affect seasons
Because Earth's axial tilt, not distance from the Sun, primarily causes seasonal temperature changes
