Merry Perihelion to planet Earth. 147,105,050 kilometers from the Sun In our annual oval orbit, today we are closer to the Sun than at any other time of the year. But not by much -- about 3% closer than at Aphelion, our farthest distance from the Sun six months from now. https://t.co/rEyoT622uA — PolitiTweet.org

It’s almost that time of year… MERRY PERIHELION (Janaury 4, 2022) Conceived & designed by fans. Approved by me. After fees to the artist, proceeds go to educational organizations. Apparel https://t.co/MsUGiBVdpl Pop Socket https://t.co/jXgGI57NVt https://t.co/WCLaZd8oEE — PolitiTweet.org

Solar flux scales as the square of the distance. If you do the math, Earth today receives about 6% more solar energy than in July. But we’re also moving faster in our orbit. Which largely cancels out the net gain. That’s why Winter is only 89 days long. Summer: 94 days — PolitiTweet.org

@neiltyson What's the change in energy received from that +/- 3%?
