parallax during the earth's orbit?


Hi,

Would the difference in the distance between the earth and the sun when the earth is in perihelion and when it is in aphelion be considered a parallax?

Thanks,

Well ... since perihelion and aphelion occur at opposite ends of the orbit... that would create the parallax...

So I think the answer to your question is ... er ... no.
