The changes in the distance from the sun (due to elliptical orbit) make marginal differences in the amount of energy recieved by the earth,.
>
The major contributor to seasonal differences is essentially due to the tilt from perpindicular of the earths rotational axis and the fact that the axis will remain parallel throughout the earths yearly orbit around the sun, so in the northern hemisphere the winter equinox is when the top of the axis is at maximum tilt away from the sun, resulting in diffused sunlight and less daylight hours.

The amount of sunlight reaching a location at a particular time is determined by Earth's shape, axial tilt, rotation, and orbit around the sun. These factors affect the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface, leading to variations in day length and intensity of sunlight throughout the year.
Earth's orbit around the sun is fairly typical compared to other planets in our solar system. It follows an elliptical path, with the sun at one of the foci. The shape and orientation of Earth's orbit contribute to the changing seasons and variations in solar intensity.
The path of Earth's orbit in the shape of an elongated closed curve is called an ellipse. An ellipse is a type of geometric shape that resembles an elongated circle, with two focal points inside the curve. This shape is a result of the gravitational forces between Earth and the Sun.
The path of the Earth's orbit is an ellipse. The Sun is positioned at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
The shape of earth's orbit is known as an elipse
The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
