Bimodal IT is the practice of managing two separate, coherent modes of IT delivery, one focused on stability and the other on agility. Mode 1 is traditional and sequential, emphasizing safety and accuracy. Mode 2 is exploratory and nonlinear, emphasizing agility and speed.
Earth is closest to the sun every year in early January, when itâs winter for the Northern Hemisphere. Weâre farthest away from the sun in early July, during our Northern Hemisphere summer. Earth is about 3 million miles (5 million km) closer to the sun in early January than it is in early July. Thatâs not a huge change in distance. Itâs not enough of a change to cause the seasons on Earth. On January 4, 2017, Earth at its closest point swings to within 91,404,322 miles (147,100,993 km) of the sun.
When Mercury is at its closest point to Earth, astronomers call this opposition (from the point of view of Mercury). This would happen when Mercury was at its furthest from the Sun, and Earth is at its closest. When this happens, Mercury and Earth would be separated by only 77 million km (48 million miles). Their maximum distance occur when Earth is at its furthest point from the Sun, and Mercury is at its maximum on the other side of the Sun. The three objects then line up perfectly. At this point, Mercury and Earth can be 222 million km (138 million miles) apart. Distancia desde la Tierra a Mercurio.
