On the second day of this new year, Earth reaches its nearest point in orbit around the Sun at 7:38 p.m. The planet will be about 3 million miles closer to the Sun at this time than during its farthest point in orbit, known as aphelion.
Perihelion doesn't always happen on the same day or time every year, but on Earth, it occurs about two weeks after the winter solstice, also known as the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
