What day does the sun appear to reach it's maximum declination in the Northern Hemisphere?
The northern hemisphere, and the whole planet, is closest to the sun around January 4th. Commonly people think that since it is Summer, we must be closer to the sun. Actually the Earth is farther from the sun during the summer of the northern hemisphere and closer during the dead of winter. The elliptical orbit of earth and the tilt of the earth's axis are the causes of our seasons. Supposedly this makes winter less severe in the northern hemisphere while making summer more severe in the southern hemisphere.
