Called aphelion, the sun at that moment will be 94,502,939 miles (152,087,738 km) from our Earth (measured from center to center), or 3,096,946 miles (4,984,051 km) farther as compared to when the ...

But Earth’s rotation could change by a millisecond — which is .001 seconds — or two every day. Also, the orbit of the moon can have an effect on how fast the Earth spins.

Earth’s orbit around the Sun isn’t a perfect circle—it’s slightly elliptical. Each year, around July 2 or 3, Earth reaches its farthest point from the Sun, known as aphelion.
