Perihelion is at a planet's closest approach to the sun (Earth: approx.147.1
Million KM - 91,401,983 mi)
Aphelion is at a planet's furthest separation from the sun (Earth: approx. 152.1
Million KM - 94,507,803 mi).

If you plot the position of the sun in the sky at the same time each day by
noting where the shadow of a fixed object falls, you will see the effects of the
elipticity of the earth's orbit, the tilt of the earth's axis of rotation
relative to the plane of the orbit and the angle between the axis of rotation of
the earth and the major axis of the elliptical orbit. That plot, called The
Equation of Time gives rise to a figure-8 like path called an analemma. We did
that over the course of two years, and you can see the results here.
