The Earth at Perihelion │ January 4, 2025

According to Kepler's Second Law, the line connecting the Earth and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times, causing the Earth to move faster when closer to the Sun and slower when farther away (Law of Equal Areas).

 

The Earth is furthest from the Sun and moves slowest at Aphelion, which occurs about two weeks after the June Solstice, around July 3-5, when the Earth is 180° away from Perihelion. Perihelion, when the Earth is closest to the Sun and moves fastest, occurs around January 3-4, about two weeks after the December Solstice. 

 

 

In 2025, Perihelion in New York City will occur on Saturday, January 4, at 8:28 a.m. EST, a day before the "Slight or Minor Cold" Chinese solar term (小寒) on Sunday, January 5, and when the short-term trend in US stock market seasonality typically changes. Both Friday, January 3, and Saturday, January 4, are Cosmic Cluster Days.
