Answer:

C. 3rd January

Perihelion and Aphelion

• The Earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, but rather an ellipse (oval shape). Because of this, the distance between the Earth and the Sun changes throughout the year.

• Perihelion (3rd January): This is the point in Earth's orbit where it is closest to the sun, at approximately 147 million kilometers.

• Aphelion (4th July): This is the point where the Earth is farthest from the sun, reaching a distance of about 152 million kilometers.
