 Out of aphelion and perihelion, where is the speed of the earth more and why

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`implies` Aphelion is the location of the earth which is at the greatest distance from the sun and perihelion is the location of the earth which is at the nearest distance from the sun.

Hence, the speed of the earth is more at the perihelion than at the aphelion.
