Why does the changing distance between earth and sun not affect the seasons?

When Earth orbits the sun, its eccentricity of the orbit is only 0.017. That's very close to 0, a perfect circle. So when it's at its closest to the sun (perihelion) , it doesn't make a difference.

Why doesn't the distance between the earth and sun affect the seasons?
It does affect the seasons...
Which of these does not contribute to changing seasons angle of incidence of solar radiation tilt of the earth on its axis distance between the earth and sun or revolution of the earth around the sun?
The distance of the Earth from the sun does not contribute to the changing seasons. Although this distance does change (since the Earth's orbit is elliptical, not perfectly circular) the amount of the change is not great enough to affect the seasons. It is the angle of incidence of solar radiation, which in turn is affected by the axial tilt of the Earth and its revolution around the sun, which creates the changing seasons.
How does the Earth's varying distance from the Sun affect our seasons?
It affects are seasons because since the earth is tillted they get a diffrent amount of warmth

Does changing the distance of a ramp affect the distance the car travel?
No.
Are the changes in the distance between Earth and the sun important in causing the cycle of the seasons?
No because it is such a little distance it is not going to affect the climate, you would not even notice.
Does the distance of the earth in its orbit affect the seasons?
yes it does because it is winter when we are in the shadow
Is there any sudden change in winter season due to migratory birds?
No. The migration of birds does not affect the seasons. Birds migrate in response to the changing seasons.
How does the Earth's varying distance from the Sun affect our seasons?
It affects are seasons because since the earth is tillted they get a diffrent amount of warmth
Does changing the distance of a ramp in an inclined plane affect the amount of work being done?
No

How does weather effects seasons?
Weather doesn't AFFECT (not effect) seasons, seasons AFFECT weather.
How does distance between objects affect the force of gravity between them?
Inverse square, halve the distance between them and the force quadruples.
How does distance affect the force of gravity between objects?
lessens by distance squared
