The orbit of the Earth is elliptic, it is not a perfect circle. This means that depending on the time of year, the Earth is closer or further from the sun.
A common misconception is that this phenomena causes the seasons on Earth but this is not true!
How could it be winter on the Northern hemisphere and summer on the Southern if it was all about the Sun's distance?
The Earth's seasons are cause because of the axis tilt of the planet causing the angle of the Sun to change over year, making it warmer, or colder.
The angle at which the sunbeams penetrate our atmosphere is far more relevant than the distance.

How long does it really take the earth to travel around the sun?
It really requires an entire year for earth to loop-de-loop the sun. That is what the definition of a year is--the amount of time it takes our orb to orbit once.
What is it called for the earth to travel around the earth in sevin and a half minuts?
How would the earth travel around the earth?
Does the earth travel around the moon or does the moon travel around the sun?
the moon travels around the earth,and the earth travels around the sun
Does the sun travel around the sun?
That doesn't make any sense. If you ment, 1. "Does the sun travel around the earth?" or 2. "Does the earth travel around the sun?" The answer is 2.
How many time does light travel around the earth in one second?
light can travel around earth about seven times
Does the sun only travel once around the earth every 24 hours?
The sun does not travel around the Earth, Earth travels around the sun. The Earth rotates once every 24 hours.
How does the sun travel around the earth?
The SUN does NOT travel around the Earth. The Earth (aand all the other solar system planets), travel around the Sun(Orbit). Because the Sun appears to travel across the sky, the ancients thought that the Sun travelled around the Earth. NOT SO!!!! It is the Earth's rotation, on a daily basis, that makes the Sun appear to travel around the This is the 'HELIOCENTRIC' system first discovered by 'Coperincus', and was a controverisal problem for a number of centuries. Today we recognise the heliocentric system as the true state of astronomic movement.
How many degrees is the axis of the earth tilted to in orb?
23.5 degrees. That's the angle between the axis of the Earth and a line that is perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
Which direction does the earth travel around the moon?
It doesn't ! The moon travels around the earth !
What do planets do as they travel around earth?
They don't travel around earth they revolve around the sun and they rotate and one trip around the sun takes 365 and 1/4 days
What star does the earth travel around?
The Sun
What is the earth's travel around the sun called?
The Earth's travel around the sun is called its orbit. It takes approximately 365.25 days for the Earth to complete one orbit around the sun, resulting in a year.
