July 5: Earth at Aphelion
Earth reaches aphelion, its farthest point from the Sun, at 05:06 UTC on July 5, 2024. The fact that aphelion occurs in July means that summer lasts longer in the Northern Hemisphere—although, for a variety of complex reasons, it will be about 15 minutes shorter next year.
