However, its motion around the Sun is faster at perihelion than aphelion.
然而,它在近日比在日时公转更快。
The corresponding change in gravitational force causes the Earth to move fastest in January when it reaches its closest point to the Sun, the perihelion, and the slowest in July when it reaches its farthest point, the aphelion.
相应地球引力变化使地球在一月时公转更快,也就是到达离太阳最近时,这个被称作“近日”,到达离太阳最时,公转最慢,这个也被称作“日”。
