PERIHELION
Does the sun look a little larger today? The earth is the closest to 
the sun at noon 3 January 2007 about 147.5 Million KM (91.6 Million 
miles) away. The sunlight falling on the earth in January is 7% more 
intense than in July. The sun will also appear a little larger. 
(Where is my spf 40 suntan lotion?)
