Bimodal IT is the practice of managing two separate, coherent modes of IT delivery, one focused on stability and the other on agility. Mode 1 is traditional and sequential, emphasizing safety and accuracy. Mode 2 is exploratory and nonlinear, emphasizing agility and speed.
Earth is closest to the sun every year in early January, when itâs winter for the Northern Hemisphere. Weâre farthest away from the sun in early July, during our Northern Hemisphere summer. Earth is about 3 million miles (5 million km) closer to the sun in early January than it is in early July. Thatâs not a huge change in distance. Itâs not enough of a change to cause the seasons on Earth. On January 4, 2017, Earth at its closest point swings to within 91,404,322 miles (147,100,993 km) of the sun.
When two planets are on opposite sides of the Sun, and form a line with the Sun, then they are farthest away. For example, the planet Venus is about 42 million kilometers (26 million miles) from Earth at its closest point and about 258 million kilometers (160 million miles) away at its most distant point.An AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun, about 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles). The table below lists the distance of each planet from the Sun in AU.
