Earth's distance from the Sun at aphelion, which occurs in early July, does not significantly impact global temperatures. The difference in distance (about 3 million miles) is relatively small compared to the overall energy received from the Sun. Seasonal variations, primarily driven by axial tilt, have a more substantial influence on Earth's climate than the minor changes in distance at aphelion or perihelion. Thus, aphelion does not lead to an overall cooling of the planet.

Aphelion.
Earth last reached aphelion, its farthest point from the Sun, on July 4, 2023. At this point, Earth was approximately 94.5 million miles (152.1 million kilometers) away from the Sun. Aphelion occurs once a year, typically around the beginning of July.
It takes Earth about 182.5 days to move from perihelion (closest point to the sun) to aphelion (farthest point from the sun) in its elliptical orbit.
Perihelion - Aphelion is when the Earth is furthest from the Sun.
Yes because the Earth is farthest from the sun. The heat of the sun is not as close to the Earth as it was before.

The northern hemisphere does not experience winter when the Earth is farthest from the sun.The cause of the seasons is the Earth's axial tilt, which is independent of the apsides of Earth's orbit, known as aphelion and perihelion.When Earth is farthest from the sun, it is at aphelion. Aphelion currently occurs in July, which is the Northern Hemisphere's summer.

i think because of the Earth's elliptical orbit, less sunlight reaches these places at the aphelion. =)
Aphelion is the point in a planet's or comet's orbit where it is farthest from the Sun. The Earth's aphelion is 152,098,232 km.
