The earth is actually closer to the sun during the winter in the northern hemisphere
winter
When its "summer time " the earth is facing toward the sun , and when it is winter the earth is facing away from the sun .
It Is closest to the earth In the winter.
Winter!
No. As it happens the Earth is closest to the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. Seasons like summer and winter are related to the tilt of the earth with respect to the plane of its orbit about the sun, not to the distance from the sun.
The Sun doesn't have seasons the way that Earth does.
earth is closer to the Sun during our winter
seasons are caused by the rotation of earth on its axis
Earth's position and angle with the sun makes seasons happen. Whichever side of Earth is closest to the sun is having summer. The side furthest from the sun should be having winter.
The earth is tilted 23.4°, so from summer to winter, when the tilt is away from the sun, the difference is 46.8°.
summer, when it is tilted away from the sun it is winter.
No, the earth is further away from the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere, and closer in the winter, but because of the earth's axial tilt it receives the sun's rays more directly in summer.
