At 11 AM this morning the earth moved the furthest away from the sun all year. Sure doesn’t feel like it. But 3 million miles further away than in the middle of winter is no big deal when the average is 93 million miles from the closet star we call the sun.
But we do get one good benny from aphelion being in the middle of the summer. The earth moves slower while it is swinging out there in the distance so our summer is longer than our winter. Australia gets screwed on that one.
And Rubber Duck needs those long days since there are so many seagulls to sell.
