Happy Belated Perihelion
It was January 4th 2023 11:17 am and the earth was 91,403,034 miles from the sun, at that moment, the Earth continued its elliptical turn but now going slightly farther from the sun to the perihelion, which will be July 6th 2023 at 4:06pm with a distance of 94,506,364 miles. To do a general thought experiment, the Earth in the year 2023 will have a solid three million mile difference in distance to the sun. Think on that, three million miles.
