Aphelion

In order for this result to be produced, the earth must reach that part of its orbit known as aphelion, where the distance from its controlling centre is greatest, so that the eccentricity of the moon's orbit is always an indication of the position of the earth in its relation to the sun. ❋ William George Hooper (N/A)

At the opposite point of its orbit, where it will be in "aphelion," or farthest from the sun, the sun will only appear about 19 minutes in diameter. ❋ Mark Wicks (N/A)

The first colonists arrived only to learn that they had to contend with a winter twenty times the duration of summer and so extreme it froze the atmosphere to the surface well after aphelion to the primary. ❋ Unknown (2010)

So whether or not Pluto is moving towards perihelion or aphelion that doesn't determine its "spring" or "autumn", does it? ❋ Unknown (2010)

Comets, with their hugely eccentric orbits, may pass far beyond the outer planets to spend their aphelion in the vast interstellar darkness beyond the Kuiper Belt . ❋ Unknown (2010)

Criminy, I almost forgot: on July 4th, at roughly 08: 00 UT, the Earth was at aphelion. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The reason so many planetoids are found near aphelion is because that is where they spend most of their time. ❋ Unknown (2009)

And when our telescopes improve to the point that we can spot them all, we'll find most of the others near aphelion. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Scotsman James Croll combined the eccentricity of the orbit and the precession and in the 1860s and 1870s presented his ideas on the effects of the cycles and how they might influence climate, especially the colder winters when they correspond with the aphelion. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4th, or aphelion (Figure 1). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Every simulations starts from point- aphelion, but when Nibiru is in aphelion? ❋ Unknown (2009)

When the orbit is more elliptical, the perihelion is closer to the Sun and the aphelion is farther away than when the orbit is more circular. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The difference between the perihelion and aphelion distances is about 3%, and therefore extraterrestrial irradiance is about 7% higher during the austral (Southern Hemisphere) summer than it is during the boreal (Northern Hemisphere) summer. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The earth is closest to the sun on 3 January (perihelion) and farthest away on 4 July (aphelion). ❋ Unknown (2009)

If the eccentricity only consisted of a change in the time of the year for perihelion and aphelion it would again not change the amount of the sunlight striking the earth - just where and when it was most intense. ❋ EliRabett (2009)

In 12,900 years, the North will have colder winters because Earth will be furthest from the Sun (aphelion) in January. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I had found such starting point from aphelion, that Nibiru's arrival to perihelion is exactly at 6.6.2012,..time of Venus transit,.. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The greater the eccentricity of the orbit (i.e., the more elliptical it is), the greater the variation in solar energy received at the top of the atmosphere between the Earth's closest (perihelion) and farthest (aphelion) approach to the sun. ❋ Unknown (2007)
