Yes.
OK, that's not very helpful. The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, farthest away from the Sun on July 4, closest to the Sun on January 4. (Plus or minus one day due to the cycle of leap years!) So in the northern hemisphere, the Earth is closest to the Sun in the winter, and farthest from the Sun in the summer. In the southern hemisphere, the Earth is closer in the summer and farther away in the winter.
The difference isn't very much; only about a million miles or so.
What else can I help you with?
Why in winter days is it still cold in day?
the earth is tilted farther away from the sun.
The northern hemisphere experiences winter when Earth is farther from the sun?
December through February
Is the sun farther away from the earth in winter?
no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth
Is earth farther away from the sun in the winter?
no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth
How would you prove that the distance from sun has nothing to do with the season change on the earth?
because wen its winter we are closer to the sun and wen we are farther away we are in summer
Why is it summer in Canada when it is winter in Australia?
Because they are at different parts of the world and they are farther or closer to the sun at different times.
Is this winter expected to colder than last year?
Yes... because since all through these passed years the Sun keeps going farther and farther away from Earth......
Why do temperatures in the region change little from summer to winter?
It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis. Many people believe that the temperature changes because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther from the sun in winter. In fact, the Earth is farthest from the sun in July and is closest to the sun in January!
Why is Vermont colder in the winter?
Colder compared to what? It is colder in the winter than in the summer because the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun in the winter. It is colder in Vermont compared to southern states because it is farther from the equator, and therefore receives lesss heat from the sun
Why is the sun lower in the sky during the winter?
The sun never moves although it might seem to hang low it's just the position of the earth.
Is the earth farther from the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere?
Just the opposite. The earth reaches its closest point to the sun around January 2 or 3 every year.
When the sun is farther north of the equator?
When the sun is farther north of the equator, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
