What is the position of the Earth when it is at the greatest distance from the Sun? Correct Answer Aphelion
Earth is farther from the sun today (July 6) than at any other time of the year. On 4th July, Earth is farthest from Sun and this phenomenon is called Aphelion. This happens because Earth orbits round the Sun elliptically.
