- TL;DR Summary
- Are lower / higher points of Heliocentric Latitude always taking place same time ervery year.?
By following the link below you can see (an animation) showing how the planets that orbiting the Sun each year have their lowest / highest position (relative to the Sun's equator).
The lowest point of the Earth is seen every year in the month of September, (and the highest position of the Earth occurs in March).
My question is whether these "points" over time are immovably fixed, or whether they "move" / "rotate" - in the same way that perihelion also moves (for example Mercury's perihelion precession).
If these "points" move over time, what is the reason and how much do they move?
