Perihelion Day 2025: Sun to Appear Largest and Brightest on January 4

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Perihelion Day is set for January 4, 2025, when the Sun appears largest in the year as Earth is closest to it.
  • This phenomenon occurs annually between January 2-4, following the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
  • Despite the Sun's apparent size increase, the difference in distance is only 3%, making it hardly noticeable.
  • Perihelion will occur at 8:28 EST in Washington, D.C., and influences the seasons due to Earth's axial tilt.
  • The slight increase in solar radiation during perihelion does not result in warmer temperatures in winter.
