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.
Mercury is the first planet from the sun, and Earth is the third planet from the sun; Venus is the second planet from the sun, making it farther than Mercury but closer than Earth.
Yes, the sun is slightly closer to the earth in the winter. It is colder because the slant of the earth's axis is away from the sun.
The way the earth is positioned on it's axes during the winter months positiones the sun closer to the earth.
Since the Moon accompanies Earth, it basically has the same distance to the Sun as Earth does. Sometimes a bit closer, sometimes a bit farther, but this difference is insignificant. The Earth - and therefore the Moon as well - is closer to the Sun than Mars.
The sun is a star, the closest one to Earth. The next nearest star to Earth is about 265,000 times farther away than the sun is.
Because they are at different parts of the world and they are farther or closer to the sun at different times.
it is closer to the sun in june
because wen its winter we are closer to the sun and wen we are farther away we are in summer
The earth revolves around the sun, as it gets farther away, it becomes winter and closer summer.
During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the earth is tilted by its axis so the Northern Hemisphere is away from the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. During winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the earth axis is tilted the other way, so that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is farther away.
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth relative to the sun. The earths axis is tilted and not perfectly parallel with the sun's axis. This means that as the earth circles the sun half the planet will be closer to the sun then the other. When half is closer that is summer. (closer = hotter). When it is farthest away that is winter (father = colder). Spring and fall are the transition times in between. When the tilt is moving away from the sun it is getting farther and farther away and getting colder...(fall). When it gets closer then it gets warmer leading to spring. Food for thought....when its summer in the USA..its winter in Australia
No The Sun Is CLOSER To The Earth In June.
The farther the sun gets away from the earth, the colder it is, that is WInter and Fall. The closer it gets the warmer it gets. That is Spring and Summer.
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!
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.
