It’s January 4th land It will be located at perihelion closest to the Sun in its annual orbit. This provides maximum orbital speed, accelerating at 3420 kilometers per hour above average.

land it revolves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit of 930 million kilometers, at an average speed of 107,280 kilometers per hour, which means it takes 365 days and almost 6 hours to cover the distance, hence a leap year is counted every four years.

But, according to Kepler’s second law, this speed of movement changes, increasing until it reaches a maximum in perihelion – the shortest distance to the Sun – from 110,700 kilometers per hour, and decreasing to a minimum in aphelionat a speed of 103,536 kilometers per hour, the distance between which is more than 7,000 kilometers per hour.

When will the perihelion of 2023 be?

According to earth and sky, perihelion 2023 will take place at 16:00 UTC this Wednesday (11am Peru), January 4, with a distance of just over 147 million kilometers. Aphelion in 2023 will be on July 6 at a distance of about 5 million kilometers.

Kepler realized that the line connecting the planets and the Sun covers the same area in the same time. This means that when the planets are close to the Sun in their orbit, they move faster than when they are further away.

Thus, the orbital speed of the planet will be less at a greater distance from the Sun, and at smaller distances the orbital speed will be greater. The average distance from the Sun is 150 million kilometers on average. At aphelion, it reaches 152.09 million kilometers, and at perihelion it decreases to 147.10 million kilometers.

January 4 will also see the peak of the Quadrantida meteor shower. (Europe Press)
