EARTH AT PERIHELION – EARTHQUAKE SYMMETRY
When is Perihelion in 2024? This years Perihelion will occur on January 3, 2024 at 12:38am UTC. The Perihelion can fall anywhere between January 2 to January 6 in a given year. At that point in its orbit, the Earth is over 91 million from the Sun, a difference of about three million miles from its farthest point, or aphelion. Aphelion and Perihelion describes the furthest and closest distance the Earth is to the Sun, respectively. The Earth will be at its closest point of its orbit of the Sun
Earth’s Perihelion and Aphelion
The Earth is closest to the Sun, or at the perihelion, about two weeks after the December solstice, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, the Earth is farthest away from the Sun, at the aphelion point, two weeks after the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying warm summer months.
Due to variations in the eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit, the dates when the Earth reaches its perihelion or aphelion are not fixed. In 1246, the December Solstice was on the same day as the Earth reached its perihelion. Since then, the perihelion and aphelion dates have drifted by a day every 58 years. In the short-term, the dates can vary up to two days from one year to another.
Mathematicians and astronomers estimate that in 6430, over 4000 years from now, the perihelion will coincide with the March equinox.
