Earth will reach the aphelion point in its orbit around the sun tomorrow at 8:30 PM, the stage at which it is at its farthest distance from the sun during the year, reaching 152 million kilometers. The Noor Astronomy Society explained that Earth's arrival at aphelion is a periodic astronomical phenomenon that occurs once a year, due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit around the sun.

Society chairman Essa Al Ghafili affirmed that this phenomenon does not affect the succession of seasons or the intensity of solar radiation, explaining that the four seasons result from the 23.5-degree tilt of Earth's axis during its orbit around the sun, and are not related to its proximity to or distance from the sun. He added that Earth is at aphelion during summer in the Northern Hemisphere, while it is at its closest distance to the sun, known as 'perihelion,' during winter. The society called on space science enthusiasts to take advantage of such astronomical occasions to enhance scientific culture and learn the basic principles governing the motion of Earth and planets in the solar system, emphasizing the importance of disseminating correct astronomical knowledge and correcting common misconceptions among the public.
