Earth reaches aphelion every July, furthest from the sun due to its elliptical orbit. All planets travel in elongated circles around the sun, influenced by gravitational tugs, with Jupiter having the most significant impact.
Orbit eccentricity measures how much an orbit deviates from a perfect circle, with high eccentricity leading to more elliptical orbits. Mars and Pluto exhibit pronounced eccentricities.
