Earth at Perihelion

“Earth at Perihelion” refers to the point in Earth’s orbit where it is nearest from the Sun, a phenomenon that occurs annually. During perihelion, Earth will be at its minimum distance from the Sun, which slightly intensifies the sunlight received but has a minimal impact on global temperatures due to Earth’s axial tilt, which creates seasonal variations. This event coincides with winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
