The rotation around the sun the cause a shift.
how does earths distance from the sun change throughout the year
Because our elliptical orbit is closest to the sun in summer than in winter, when it is winter we are above the sun and when it's summer and we are below the sun
The shadow of a flagpole changes throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the position of the sun in the sky. In the summer, when the sun is higher in the sky, the shadow is shorter, while in the winter, when the sun is lower, the shadow is longer. This change occurs as the Earth orbits the sun, causing the angle of sunlight to vary.
A broad band along the equator is usually the hottest area of the earth throughout the year.
Oh, isn't it wonderful how the sun always makes our world a little brighter? In the summer, the sun rises in the northeast because the Earth is tilted towards the sun during that time in its orbit. This tilt also causes the sun's position to change throughout the year, creating the beautiful cycle of seasons that we appreciate in our landscapes. Nature's way of always shifting and tweaking, just like when we add joyous little touches to our paintings. Happy little sunrises to you!

Yes.
it tilts part of the earth towards the sun and others away.
No, the sun rises in a slightly different location in the sky each day due to the Earth's tilt and orbit. This change in the sun's rising location is what causes the seasons to change throughout the year.
Shadows change length throughout the year because the altitude of the Sun above the horizon changes. The altitude (height above the horizon) of the Sun changes as the Earth revolves around the Sun each year. This is due to Earth's axis being at an angle. In the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is pointing away from the Sun on the winter solstice (around Dec. 21) and for the Northern Hemisphere the Sun is at its lowest altitude and shadows will be the longest of the year. On summer solstice (June 21), the Sun is at its highest altitude and shadows are the shortest of the year. Janice VanCleave

A broad band along the equator is usually the hottest area of the earth throughout the year.
No. If anything, it's the opposite. As the Sun looses mass, the gravitational attraction is reduced slightly, so if anything we are moving very slightly away from the Sun.
