Pluto, whose distance from the sun varies from 2.8 to 4.5 billion miles, ... Earth is at its closest point to the sun at 91.5 million miles. This location is known as perihelion.

The authors found that launching dustfrom Earth to a way station at the "Lagrange Point" between Earth and the sun (L1) would be most effective but would require astronomical cost and effort.

Szapudi’s proposal, as described in a paper published on July 31 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, would place this massive sun shade at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1, or L1.

Jan. 2, 2024 Even as the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter’s chill, our planet on Tuesday, depending on your time zone, will be at perihelion, the closest it gets to the sun during its ...

FARGO — Earth will reach its closest point to the sun on Jan. 2, 2024, when the sun will be 91,403,034 miles away. Earth is farthest from the sun in July, which is called aphelion.
