Out of aphelion and perihelion, where is the speed of the earth more and why?

उत्तर
Aphelion is the location of the earth where it is at the greatest distance from the sun and perihelion is the location of the earth where it is at the nearest distance from the sun. According to the diagram given below point A represents aphelion and point P perihelion.
According to Kepler's second law, a real velocity is constant. So, `r_p xx v_p = r_A xx v_A`
⇒ `r_A/r_p = v_p/v_A`
Therefore, `r_A > r_p`. So `v_p > v_A`
Therefore, the speed of the earth is more at the perihelion than at the aphelion.

Earth’s orbit is an ellipse with eccentricity 0.0167. Thus, earth’s distance from the sun and speed as it moves around the sun varies from day to day. This means that the length of the solar day is not constant through the year. Assume that earth’s spin axis is normal to its orbital plane and find out the length of the shortest and the longest day. A day should be taken from noon to noon. Does this explain variation of length of the day during the year?
