Why planet comes closer and goes away from the sun?

Dear student

The planets in our solar system move as the sun uses its gravity to pull the planets towards it. The gravity from the sun causes our planet to move in a curved, elliptical path
Since our planet orbits the sun in an elliptical path, not a circular one, there are points in the Earth’s orbit where we are closer to the sun and positions where we are further from the sun

With regards

Dear friend,

As the planet in our solar system move, the sun uses its own gravity to pull the planets towards it. This gravity causes our planets to move in a curved, elliptical path.
