The earth reaches its closest point to the sun in the evening after tomorrow, Wednesday
Doha – Qena
The Qatar Calendar House announced that the planet Earth will reach its closest point in its orbit around the sun (perihelion point) the evening after tomorrow, Wednesday, the 11th of the month of Jumada al-Akhirah 1444 AH, corresponding to January 4, 2023 AD, at 7:17 pm Doha local time, where the Earth will be At a distance of approximately 147 million km from the sun, and a difference of approximately five million km from what it was during the month of July.
And the house stated in a statement today that the earth reaches the closest point in its orbit around the sun (perihelion) at the beginning of January of each year, while it reaches the farthest point in its orbit around the sun (aphelion point) during July of each year.
It is noteworthy that the change in the distance between the earth and the sun is not the reason for the occurrence of climate changes on the surface of the earth, but it plays an important role in influencing the number of days of the four astronomical seasons, in addition to that this phenomenon is a natural phenomenon, and it does not have any negative effects on the inhabitants of the globe. As non-professionals claim.
She explained that there is a strange paradox, although the earth is at the closest point to the sun in January (winter season), the temperature is low, and on the contrary, when it is at the farthest point from the sun in July (summer season), the temperature is high. This is due to the fact that the angle of fall of the sun’s rays in the winter season is more inclined to the inhabitants of the northern hemisphere during the month of January, which makes them penetrate a longer distance in the atmosphere and thus lose a large part of their heat, while the angle of fall of the sun’s rays in the summer is vertical. For the inhabitants of the northern hemisphere during the month of July, it penetrates a shorter distance from the atmosphere and does not lose a large part of its heat, and the situation is completely opposite for the inhabitants of the southern hemisphere.
It is well known that the earth, like other planets, revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit (ellipse), and the sun is in one of the two foci of this orbit. The sun is called: (apogee point).
It is worth noting that Earth is the only planet among the rocky planets that has a strong magnetic envelope that protects it from storms and solar winds.
