The point on the earth's orbit that is farthest from the sun Although the position is part of a 21,000 year cycle, currently it occurs around July, when the earth is about 3 million miles farther from the sun than at perihelion This term can be applied to any other celestial body in orbit around the sun It is the opposite of perihelion
The term "aphelion" essentially means "far from the Sun " Since planetary orbits are ellipses rather than perfect circles, at points in a given orbit the planet is closer to the Sun than at others When it is at aphelion, it is at the farthest distance away from the Sun that it can get See perihelion
