Tomorrow: Earth at Solar Farthest
The Earth reached aphelion, the point farthest from the Sun in its annual orbit, at 9:30 PM Oman Standard Time, with a distance of approximately 152.1 million kilometers. Astronomy expert Wosal Al-Hunaynah explained that aphelion occurs once every year due to the orbital inclination, which is 0.0167, emphasizing that changes in the distance between Earth and the Sun do not significantly affect temperature levels. She also confirmed that the cause of the seasons is the tilt of Earth's axis, not the proximity to or distance from the Sun.
