So Far Away
On July 5 the Earth will be at aphelion, that is, at the point
in its orbit farthest (94,512,258 miles) from the Sun. This
may seem like a contradiction, but the Sun really is far
thest from the Earth during our summer and closest (perihe
lion: January 2, 1994) m the winter The fact is that our sea
sons are not caused by the Sun's distance from the Earth, but
rather by the angle of the Sun's rays hitting the Earth. In the
summer, the Sun is high m the sky; its rays
str, ke the ground more directly and are
RMyiP more effective in heating In the winter, the
Sun is low in the sky and its rays are at an
tlrw®' I 1' °bhque angle, resulting in the feeble sun
11'' light we experience in winter
i Every season hrinys its own joy.
