Aphelion is the farthest orbital point from the sun and perihelion is the closest.
Aphelion(远点)是离太阳最远的轨道点,而Perihelion(
点)是指最
的。
The corresponding change in gravitational force causes the Earth to move fastest in January when it reaches its closest point to the Sun, the perihelion, and the slowest in July when it reaches its farthest point, the aphelion.
