You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.

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.

The earth is closer to the Sun in the southern hemisphere when it is summer, but during summer in the northern hemisphere the earth is farther away by many millions of kilometres . Although this will change gradually and in 13,000 years the opposite will be true .
Why does the tilt of earths axis create different seasons?
As Earth turns slowly on its axis through-out the year, different parts of the world are experiencing different seasons because the sun it closer or farther away from the area making it either hotter (summer-spring) or cooler (winter-fall).

Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.

Does the moon have to be closer to earth or sun during a solar eclipse?
The moon is ALWAYS much closer to the Earth than it is to the sun. For a solar eclipse, the three bodies have to be lined up, with the moon in the 'middle'. The SIZE of the eclipse (I.E. area covered in shadow) changes if the moon is slightly closer or slightly farther away from Earth. If the Moon is closer to the earth, then the shadowed area is larger. If it is farther from the earth, then the shadowed area is smaller.
How many times farther from the sun is mercury than earth?

Why cant the earth orbit further or closer towards the sun?
Actually it does. the orbit of the earth is an ellipse and at one point of the year we are closer to the sun and the opposite time we are farther.
What are sesons caused by?
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
