no actually its because of the earths 23.5 degree tilt and so one half of the earth( northern hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere) is either facing away or toward the earth. But in spring and fall neither of the hemispheres are facing the sun. so basically the distance of the sun does not matter for temature because the earths orbit is not eliptical enough to make a difference in tempature.
What else can I help you with?
What angle is the earth in the winter?
The Earth is at the same angle, summer or winter. In winter the nearest pole to you is facing slightly away from the sun as the Earth moves in its orbit, in summer your nearest pole faces slightly towards the sun.
Does the seasonal cycle occurs because Earth is closer to the sun in the summer than in the winter?
The Earth rotates on it's axis. In the summer, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. In the winter, the Earth is titled away from the sun. On the Earth, the northern regions (above the equator) have winter, while the southern regions (below the equator) have summer. Then, the opposite becomes true. The southern regions have winter, while the norther regions have summer. The distance nearer and farther from the sun makes no difference as far as the Earth's summer and winter is concerned.
What part of the earth is facing the sun when it is winter in the southern US?
The Southern United States of America are in the Norther hemisphere of Earth. Thus when it is winter there the Southern hemisphere of the Earth is pointing towards the sun.
Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?
Winter is colder than Summer because the angle of the earth toward the Sun. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun during the northern Hemisphere winter but the hemisphere is angled way and gets less direct light.
Would the northern hemisphere still be in winter when earth is closest to the sun in 13000 years?
No, the Earth's distance from the sun does not affect the seasons. The tilt of the Earth's axis is the primary reason for the seasons. In 13,000 years, the Northern Hemisphere will still experience winter when it is tilted away from the sun.
When do you have winter?
You have winter when earth is near the sun
How do you get the different seasons?
Because the earth's revolution , when it goes near sun its summer and when it is far away from the sun it is winter
When is the earth closes to the sun in summer or winter?
The earth is actually closer to the sun during the winter in the northern hemisphere
Why is it true that when the sun is closer to the earth that the northern hemisphere is in winter?
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.
Is it winter everywhere on earth when the earth is closest to the sun?
no, it is winter in either the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere.it all depends on the tilt of the earth to the sun.
How can any part of the earth have winter while being closest to the sun?
It doesn't. The part of the Earth closest to the sun is the part of the Earth experiencing Winter.
Is the sun closest to the earth during the summer or winter solstice?
It Is closest to the earth In the winter.
What does winter do for the earth?
Winter takes place when the earth is furthest from the sun. Winter also provides a time for the earth and wildlife to regenerate.
Distance from earth to sun in winter?
The distance from the Earth to the sun in the winter varies depending on where you are living. The average distance is 9.13997e7 miles.
How does Earth's movement make summer hot and winter cold?
When its "summer time " the earth is facing toward the sun , and when it is winter the earth is facing away from the sun .
Does earth move near sun during winter?
Yes, the periapsis of the Earth's orbit is currently in January, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. Note that this is unrelated to the seasons; the effect of the Sun's distance is secondary, compared to the tilt of the Earth's axis.Yes, the periapsis of the Earth's orbit is currently in January, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere.

Why does the angular diameter of the sun as seen from earth appear to be greater during our winter than summer?
earth is closer to the Sun during our winter
