I suppose this is probably a special relativity question, but if I can set that aside and be a rube for a moment, I think it is a fun pure geometry question. Of course within the earth’s or your reference frame they are a fixed geometric distance, but within the solar reference frame they aren’t since the earth is moving. So the two endpoints both trace huge arcs over that time period, the delta between being negligible but still real. So I guess depending on which direction your headed you either increase or decrease the total distance “traveled” between the two, or any two points per unit time.
