n.遠(yuǎn)日點(diǎn)(遠(yuǎn)核點(diǎn))

But it's not that simple either, because the dates of the perihelion and aphelion are also shifting. 但這并不是簡單的一件事情,因?yàn)榻拯c(diǎn)和遠(yuǎn)日點(diǎn)的日期都會變換。

Otherwise difficult to notice, the change in the Sun's apparent diameter between Perihelion and Aphelion is clear. 我們很難用肉眼看出近日點(diǎn)和遠(yuǎn)日點(diǎn)太陽視直徑的變化，但在這張圖上顯而易見。

The point in the orbit nearest the sun is called perihelion, while the point farthest is called aphelion. 在軌道上最接近太陽的點(diǎn)被稱為近日點(diǎn)，而最遠(yuǎn)離太陽的點(diǎn)被稱為遠(yuǎn)日點(diǎn)。

Last year, on July 4, 2008, the Earth at aphelion was some 8,000 miles more distant, at 94,513,144 miles. 去年，2008年7月4日，地球在遠(yuǎn)日點(diǎn)的距離大概遠(yuǎn)了8,000英里，甚至更多些，達(dá)到94,513,144英里。

Astronomers call this point aphelion, and, at aphelion we're about three million miles farther from the sun than we will be six months from now. 宇航員叫這點(diǎn)為遠(yuǎn)日點(diǎn)，在遠(yuǎn)日點(diǎn)我們距日大約有3億英里比我們。
