It doesn't, really, much. The effect of apsis is completely swamped by the effect of axial tilt. I believe that southern hemisphere summers tend to be hotter, and Southern Hemisphere winters colder, than corresponding latitudes in the northern hemisphere due to the date of apsis (early January). But I don't know for certain that this is true.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the Northern hemisphere winter not occur when the earth is farthest from the sun at aphelion?
The seasons are created primarily by the tilt of the Earth's axis. It just happens that the axis is tilted so that the most indirect light hits the Northern Hemisphere when the Earth is nearer the Sun, creating the Northern Hemisphere winter.
This effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect is responsible for causing winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere. This phenomenon is a result of the Earth's rotation, which deflects moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
Is Pluto perihelion or aphelion?
Pluto's perihelion distance is about 4.4 billion kilometers, while its aphelion distance is about 7.4 billion kilometers from the Sun. So, Pluto is closer to the Sun at perihelion and farther away at aphelion.
What directions does the Coriolis effect cause winds to turn in the Northern Hemisphere versus in the Southern Hemisphere?
The coriolis effect is the apparent curve of a straight moving object (it turns to the Right in the Northern Hempishere). The coriolis effect is caused by different rotation speeds.
What is the relationship aphelion and perihelion to season?
Perihelion and aphelion have no relationship to the seasons, although they do occurat the same time each year.If you're thinking that the Summer's heat and the Winter's cold are somehow relatedto the Earth's distance from the sun, you need to be reminded that when it's Summerin your hemisphere, it's Winter in the other one. On exactly the same day !And as for the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Russia, and everybody else in the northernHemisphere, we are closest to the sun right in the middle of our Winter, in the first fewdays of January.
What is the effect of aphelion on earth?
At aphelion, Earth receives 6.9% less of the solar radiation than at perihelion. Aphelion happens around July 4, so this means slightly cooler summers for the Northern Hemisphere and slightly cooler winter for the Southern Hemisphere..
Is the northern hemisphere summer during aphelion or perihelion?
The Aphelion.
The northern hemisphere experiences winter when the earth is farthest from the sun?
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.

Aphelion currently occurs in July, which is the Northern Hemisphere's summer.
Why are the gyres in the northern hemisphere separate from the gyres in the southern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, influences the direction of the currents in each hemisphere. This effect leads to clockwise gyres in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise gyres in the southern hemisphere, creating separate systems due to the opposite directions of motion. The difference in wind patterns and landmass distributions also contribute to the distinct gyres in each hemisphere.
When is the distance between the sun and earth greatest?
Aphelion, which happens a few days after the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere.
What effect does the earth rotation have on the northern and southern hemisphere?
The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects moving objects (like air masses and ocean currents) to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This leads to the formation of prevailing wind patterns and ocean currents that influence weather and climate in each hemisphere.
What is the effect the perihelion and aphelion have on earths seasons?
The aphelion has many interesting effects on the earth. For one, the orbital velocity of the Earth slows down as it reaches its aphelion. It also has an effect on the climate. Due to the point in its orbit the Earth climate is made cooler and warmer in the Northern and Summer Hemisphere creating milder or more severe seasons. Some scientist hypothesize that major climate shifts like the Ice Ages are caused in part by major shifts in the Earth's Orbit which can alter its apsis points.At aphelion, Earth receives 6.9% less of the solar radiation than at perihelion. Aphelion happens around July 4, so this means slightly cooler summers for the Northern Hemisphere and slightly cooler winter for the Southern Hemisphere..Perihelion is the closest point to the sun in a planet's orbit. Perihelion is one of the two points of apsis on elliptical orbit. The closest point is generally called an periapsis and the farthest point apoapsis. This changes depending on the object being orbited. For orbiting satellites around theEarth, these two points are called the perigee and and the apogee. For other object the suffix changes to match that object being orbited.These are the points in the earth's orbit at which it is closest to,and farthest from, the sun, respectively.
In which direction do winds in the northern and southern hemisphere curve?
Winds in the northern hemisphere curve to the right due to the Coriolis effect, while winds in the southern hemisphere curve to the left. This is a result of the Earth's rotation causing moving objects to deflect to one side in each hemisphere.
When are you the closest to the sun and when are you the farthest?
You are closest to the Sun at perihelion and furthest at aphelion. As to which month, it will depend on where you live. In the Northern Hemisphere you are closest to the Sun in January and furthest in July.
Who do cyclones effect?
cyclones effect mostly people in the southern hemisphere because people in the northern hemisphere call them hurricanes
The sun earth aphelion occurs when?
The sun-earth aphelion occurs when Earth is farthest away from the sun in its orbit, which happens around July 4th each year. This is in contrast to perihelion, when Earth is closest to the sun, which occurs around January 3rd.
