All studies related to astronomy are extremely important for today's world. According to the studies released, the Earth reached its maximum speed this past Wednesday, the 4th, with 110,700km/h. This speed is related to the movement of orbit around the Sun. The average is 107,208km/h.

Due to perihelion, the orbit point of a body that is closest to the Sun, planet Earth has reached its maximum speed of translation in its entire orbit. For this phenomenon to occur, it must be at a distance of 147 million kilometers from the astro-king and its speed must reach 110,700km/h.
The opposite of this is called aphelion. When the Earth is at the farthest point from the Sun. In it, the planet will be 152 million kilometers away from it and will have a speed of 103,536 km/h.
This scenario will take place on the 6th of July.
It is known that the Sun is not exactly in the center when compared to our planet, as the Earth has an oval path. Therefore, the reason for all this speed is due to this elliptical orbit. This study was presented by the mathematician Johannes Kepler.
After a few years, scientists reset the calculations. The result of all this became known as Kepler's first law: "The planets describe elliptical orbits around the Sun, which occupies one of the foci of the ellipse".
However, the mathematician studied more and later came up with a new point. In it, Kepler develops his second law and states that: “The line joining one of the planets to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times”.
This new presentation explains how to understand how the speed of a planet varies according to with the point in question on the orbit and also how its speed can increase the closer it is from the star.
