Orbit

For a project this year I thought I would take pictures of the Sun in early January and early July near the times of Perihelion and Aphelion to show the difference in the size of the Sun when Earth is closest and furthest in its orbit.

Same camera & setup etc.

If your interested, for 2021
Date of Perihelion was Jan 3 12.50am distance 147,093,163 km
Date of Aphelion is July 6 8.27am distance 152,100,527 km
