SPACE MATH @ NASA | Changing Perspectives on the Sun's Diameter

Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle centered on the sun, but an ellipse! Because of this, in January, Earth is slightly closer to the sun than in July. This means that the sun will actually appear to have a bigger disk in the sky in January than in July…but the difference is impossible to see with the eye, even if you could do so safely!
