Earth Farthest from Sun for Year 2015
On Monday Afternoon, 2015 July 6 at 3:41 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving
Time (EDT) / 19:41 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Earth reaches
the farthest point from the Sun for the year 2015, two weeks after
the Summer Solstice. So, although Earth's Northern Hemisphere is now
entering the season of Summer, when we expect the warmest daily
temperatures of the year, this is also the time of year when we are
farthest from the Sun.
