The earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical, so the earth moves at a constantly varying velocity as it moves closer to the sun (perihelion) or further away (aphelion). The earth's angular velocity (speed of movement) is considerably greater at perihelion than it is at aphelion.he earth gets through 10% of its path in the same length of time whether it is at aphelion (moving slowly) or perihelion (moving fast). The absolute speed at which the earth moves varies, but the rate at which it orbits is constant.
365 days in a period of revolution in earth time. 365 days. The Earth is one of the nine planets that orbit around the sun in elliptical orbits. An orbit is the time it takes for a planet or other satellite to go around the sun and end up in the same place it started. The closer a planet is to the sun, the shorter the time to complete one revolution is. Mercury, for example, has an orbital period of 88 days while it takes Jupiter about 11.86 years. The period of the Earth's orbit is usually thought to be 365 days as calendars show. However when averaged it is actually about 365.25 days, which requires an extra day on the calendar every four years (causing a leap year). Contradictions within orbit times are probably caused by the ages of the sources.
