Earth's orbit

All planets in our solar system follow an elliptical path. This path is known as an orbit. Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. It is an ellipse.

The Earth's orbit takes about 365 days, this is also called a year. This means that in 365 days (a year) the Earth has gone around the Sun.[a] From this we can find that the orbital speed of the Earth is about 108,000 kilometres per hour (67,000 mph) through space.

The closest distance Earth is to the Sun, or perihelion, is 146 million km (91 million mi) and the farthest or aphelion is 152 million km (94 million mi). It takes light (or any other electromagnetic radiation) just over eight minutes to travel from Sun to Earth. This averages out to a typical distance of 150 million kilometers.

The seasonal changes on Earth are because of the 23.44° axial tilt of its rotation and slightly elliptical path around the Sun.

The orbit varies over long periods of time according to the Milankovitch cycles. These cycles are one of the main causes of climate change.

This diagram shows a very exaggerated shape of Earth's orbit; the actual orbit is almost circular.

Notes

  1. ↑ Actually, it takes 365​1⁄4 days to orbit around the Sun.
