By analyzing the Earth's orbital parameters and the effects of perihelion on our planet's climate and environment, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships within our solar system. The study of perihelion serves as a reminder of the dynamic and ever-changing nature of our celestial neighborhood.
You cannot “see” Earth being closer to the sun, but you can observe two subtle effects:
It is a common misconception that distance from the Sun causes the seasons. In reality, seasons are driven by Earth's 23.5-degree axial tilt NASA Space Place (.gov)
