Earth interacts gravitationally with other objects in space, especially the Sun and Moon.
The Earth rotates on its axis 366.26 times, creating 365.26 solar days or one sideris year.

The Earth’s orbit around the Sun is not a perfect circle, but an ellipse or oval.
The shape of the orbit is elliptical, making the Earth revolve around the Sun in a sloping curve.
This makes Earth the closest and furthest distance from the Sun.
Reporting from NASA Science, the closest distance between the Earth and the Sun is 147.5 million kilometers and is called perihelion.
The largest distance between the Earth and the Sun is 152.6 million kilometers and is called an aphelion.
So the aphelion phenomenon is the point where the Earth is furthest from the Sun.
