The diameter of the sun and earth need to be subtracted - I tried that and the number was too low
The website is wrong - need to check their source
Inclination needs to be accounted for - Earth's inclination is defined as near 0 though so that shouldn't make that big of a difference. Also I'm not sure if it makes a difference at all when measuring the Earth Sun distance
This is probably because the JPL data is for the Earth-Moon barycenter and not Earth itself. I could account for this but I think the better solution will be to use JPL planetary ephemerides for everything instead. I'm considering this outside the scope of the initial release.
Expected result: 152,095,295 km (https://www.space.com/41093-earth-at-aphelion-guide.html)
Actual result: higher than that
