In an exclusive report on July 4, 2024, at 3:30 a.m., it was revealed that July 5th is the day when the Earth is farthest from the Sun this year, making the Sun appear the smallest. When the Earth passes through the 'aphelion' at 13:06, the Earth-Sun distance is about 152.1 million kilometers, which is 5 million kilometers farther compared to the 'perihelion' on January 3rd. This distance difference impacts climate more than the reduced radiation energy due to the distance change, explaining why summer is hot despite the Sun appearing smaller.
