YES!!!
Or to put it the other way around, the Earth moves closer and further away from the Sun.
Reason. Our orbital track about the Sun is elliptical in shape, NOT cicular.
The Sun lies at one of the foci of the ellipse , NOT the centre. Ther other foci can be thought of as a 'blind' foccus.
Over a period of twelve months (1 year) the Earth travels from near the Sun (perigee) to furthest from the Sun )apogee). and then swings back again.
Go to Wikipedia. Look for 'Johannes Kepler' , who gave us the law of orbital motion of sweeping equal arcs in equal times.
Subsequent research to Kepler reveals, that the ellipse that Earth follows, over a period of time , both widens to near a circle, and then narrows to a narrow ellipse.
Also , with each circuit/orbit the ellipse does not close-up, bur slightly overlaps.
This distance given from the Sun is 93,000,000 miles. This is only a mean distance, and can close to 91,000,000 miles or extand to 94,500,000 miles
So yes , the Sun becomes closer to or futher away from the Earth . All the other planets in the Solar System do this too!!!! We all 'dance' through space.

Which is true The more a star appears to move the farther it is from earth The less a star appears to move the farther it is from earth Stars that do not appear to move are very close to earth?
The less a star appears to move the farther it is from earth is true.
Has the moon gone closer to the earth?
YES!!!! All astronimic objects move closer to and away from each other. Its explained by Newton;s three Laws of Universal Dynamics. (Gravity). Masses , Acceleration , Gravity all play against each other . So everything moves closer to and away from each other.
How does a planets distance from the sun affect its orbit speed?
Since the gravitational effect of the Sun decreases with distance from it, the planets farther from the Sun do not have to move as rapidly to remain in orbit. (In fact, the speed is what establishes the orbit, not the other way around.) So the outer planets, in addition to having much farther to travel in their orbits, are also moving more slowly. This combination means that outer planets take very much longer to orbit the Sun than do the inner planets such as Earth. By comparison, the length of time it takes (in Earth years) for each of the outer planets to make one complete revolution around the Sun: Jupiter - 11.9 Earth years Saturn - 29.5 Earth years Uranus - 84 Earth years Neptune - 165 Earth years
In what month do the earth move faster around the sun December or June?
December because it's closer to the sun then june
Does the earth move closer to the sun every year?
Yes and no. The Earth does get closer to the Sun every year as it approaches perihelion, 147,098,290 km, around January 4th, but then it recedes as it approaches aphelion, 152,098,232 km, around July 4th.
If you wanted to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you move closer to the equator or farther away from it?
You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
Explain what hppens to air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
Pressure increases as you get closer to earth.
Which is true The more a star appears to move the farther it is from earth The less a star appears to move the farther it is from earth Stars that do not appear to move are very close to earth?
The less a star appears to move the farther it is from earth is true.
Do sound waves move closer or farther away from a vibrating object?
farther away
Which is closer to earth?
the sun is closer to the earth because of how the earth move on its axis
How does organisms use currents to move?
they get on it and it takes them closer or farther in the ocean
Do colder particale move farther apart?
No. They move closer together so they can share what little heat they have.
Will a planet or comet be moving faster in its orbit when it is closer to or farther from the sun?
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.
Will a planet or comet be moving faster in it orbit when it is farther from or closer to the sun?
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.
How can you less gravity from earth?
The only way is to move farther away from Earth.
How do you increase the MA of a 1st class lever?
Move the fulcrum farther from the force and closer to the load.
He puts your hand around your waist what should you do?
If you like it, move closer to him. If you don't like it, move farther away and tell him to stop.
