    January 2025 has indeed turned out to be an exciting month, especially for astronomers and stargazers. The January night sky is offering us a spectacular celestial event with the alignment of six planets, which are Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune. A planet parade, also called a planetary alignment or planet line-up, is not rare but not that common either, especially six planets aligning. The six planets have already aligned in the sky, four of which are visible to the naked eye and two which require the assistance of a telescope or binoculars. The planets, though millions of kilometres apart, appear to be aligned from our view point on Earth due to their position on the ecliptic plane. Planetary Parade 2025: 6 Planets To Align in the Sky Tonight, When and How To Watch Rare Celestial Event in India.

    When Is Perihelion Day 2025? What Does It Mean? Know Perihelion Date, Time and Other Details About the Celestial Event When the Earth Is Closet to the Sun

    Perihelion Day refers to the day when the Earth is closest to the Sun in its elliptical orbit. This celestial event typically occurs between January 2 to January 4 each year. The exact Perihelion date can slightly vary each year. The Earth is closest to the Sun, which means at its perihelion, about two weeks after the December solstice and farthest from the Sun, or at its aphelion, about two weeks after the June solstice. Perihelion Day 2025 falls on January 4 when the Sun would look the largest as compared to the rest of the days of the year 2025. Quadrantid Meteor Shower 2025 Date: When and Where To Watch First Meteor Display of New Year in India?

    Perihelion Day 2025 Date and Time

    • Perihelion Day 2025 falls on Saturday, January 4.

    • In 2025, the Perihelion time is at 06:58 PM IST on Saturday, January 4. At this time, the distance of the Earth from the Sun will be 147,103,686 km

    What Does Perihelion Mean?

    Perihelion is derived from Greek words peri which means ‘near’ and ‘helios’ which means ‘sun’. The celestial event takes place every year between January 2-4.  The perihelion is significant for several scientific, environmental, and astronomical reasons. The perihelion is the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid or comet that is nearest to the Sun. It is the opposite of aphelion, which is the point farthest from the sun. Earth comes closest to the sun every year around January 2-4 and is farthest from the sun every year around July 4. The difference in distance between Earth’s nearest point to the sun in January and farthest point from the sun in July is 3.1 million miles (5 million kilometers). Major Planet Retrogrades To Watch in 2025: Mercury, Venus, Mars and Other Planetary Retrogrades, Their Months and Other Details of All the Cosmic Drama To Expect. 

    The Earth is about 91.4 million miles, which is 147.1 million kilometers, from the sun in early January, in contrast to about 94.5 million miles, which is about 152 million kilometers, in early July. The Earth’s elliptical orbit, as described by Johannes Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, leads to variations in its distance from the Sun throughout the year. The Earth receives slightly more solar energy during perihelion, but the effect is negligible compared to the tilt-driven seasonal changes.
