How does the earth's position in relationship to the sun affect the weather and climate?

The earth's orbit around the sun is almost circular. The slight deviation from circularity plays no practical part in the climate. Weather and climate are to do with the tilt of the earth's axis, and it's orientation to the plane of the orbit - if the axis was perpendicular to the plane of the orbit there would be no seasons cycle. If the orbit were farther from the sun, it would be colder (eg Mars), or closer, it would be hotter (eg Venus), although in both those examples there are other factors contributing (eg atmospheric density).

Burning fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide to a balanced carbon cycle, so this means it is all extra greenhouse gas. This will not affect the weather, but it will affect the climate. We see weather from day to day, so one hot day or one cold day does not signal climate change. Climate change needs decades probably to become clear.
