Ignoring the influence of other Solar System bodies, Earth's orbit, also called Earth's revolution, is an ellipse with the Earth–Sun barycenter as one focus with a current eccentricity of 0.0167. Since this value is close to zero, the center of the orbit is relatively close to the center of the Sun (relative to the size of the orbit).

Eratosthenes (c. 276 – c. 194/195 BC), a Greek mathematician who calculated the circumference of the Earth and also the distance from the Earth to the Sun. Hipparchus (c. 190 – c. 120 BC), a Greek mathematician who measured the radii of the Sun and the Moon as well as their distances from the Earth. On the Sizes and Distances
Earth's circumference is the distance around Earth. Measured around the equator, it is 40,075.017 km (24,901.461 mi). Measured passing through the poles, the circumference is 40,007.863 km (24,859.734 mi). [1] Treating the Earth as a sphere, its circumference would be its single most important measurement. [2]

Get ready, winter is approaching. Here's what the NWS says about when Ohio could see its first snow. See the forecast.
File:Sun, Earth size comparison.jpg Without text Not for voting. The Earth and moon, shown to scale including correct relative distance. An amazing picture of the sun and the earth. The thing that I like the most is that you can get a feeling of size and scale in the solar system when you look at how tiny the earth looks besides it. It really ...
