Aphelion phenomenon - Is the 'Aphelion Phenomenon' Causing More Sickness on Earth?

Quoted from the official website of the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space LAPAN , this is not true.

Aphelion and perihelion are routine dynamics of nature associated with the elliptical orbit of the earth.

As is the case with all planets, the Earth's orbit of the Sun is not perfectly circular - it is slightly oval-shaped.

The difference in distance between the perihelion and the aphelion is roughly 3%, not 66% as the false post claims.

Shenberg, told all of us that because we were farthest from the Sun in the July and closest in January, that such a difference would tend to warm the winters and cool the summers—at least in the Northern Hemisphere.

Although it might not cause any big difference, like the solstice, the aphelion day is still an important event for the Solar System.

Keep Exploring Hi Nancy, We checked with our astronomer and he reports: Over time the dates of both the times when the Earth arrives at perihelion and aphelion change, because of secular variations resulting from the gravitational attractions of the other planets.
