The minimum distance between the earth and sun occurs in January and is called the?
The minimum distance between Earth and the Sun occurs in January and is called the perihelion. At this point, Earth is closest to the Sun in its elliptical orbit.
What is the maximum and minimum distance between Earth and Jupiter?
The maximum distance between Earth and Jupiter is about 601 million kilometers when they are on opposite sides of the Sun (opposition). The minimum distance is around 588 million kilometers when they are on the same side of the Sun (conjunction).
Why is opposition the best time to view the outer planets?
Because opposition is when The Sun, the Earth and the planet are in a line. The planet appears opposite the Sun in the sky and the distance between Earth and planet is at a minimum.

One "Astronomical Unit" is (more or less) the average distance between the Sun and Earth.
What is the distance between the earth and Neptune?

On which day there is minimum distance between sun and earth?
It occurs approximately January 4 every year, depending on where the moon is in its orbit around the earth (it pulls the earth towards it slightly so the minimum earth-sun distance can vary from January 2nd to 6th).
Is perihelion the position of the earth when it is at its minimum distance from the sun?
yes
Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?
The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.
What is the vocabulary word for distance between the earth and the sun?
One Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth.
How far the Venus from the Earth?
Venus can be fairly close to Earth, or it can be on the other side of the Sun. To get the (approximate) range of distances:* Look up the distance from Sun to Earth. * Look up the distance from Sun to Venus. * Add both to get the maximum distance; subtract them to get the minimum distance.
