Florida is closer to the sun than Alaska due to its position at a lower latitude. While both states experience varying distances from the sun due to the Earth's tilt and orbit, Florida's southern location generally keeps it closer to the equatorial region, where the sun's rays are more direct. Alaska, being further north, experiences more extreme variations in sunlight and distance from the sun throughout the year.
What else can I help you with?
Is Ohio closer to the sun than Florida?
No. At Local Apparent Noon, the Sun is higher in the sky in Florida, and therefore slightly closer in slant range. Even though Ohio is generally at a higher elevation, the difference isn't enough to put it closer.
Why does Florida have a warmer climate than Alaska?
Florida is closer to the equator, receiving more direct sunlight and heat compared to Alaska that is closer to the North Pole. Additionally, Florida is surrounded by warm ocean currents which help to moderate its climate. On the other hand, Alaska is influenced by polar air masses and cold ocean currents leading to its cooler climate.
Is New England ever closer to the sun than Florida?
No, the distance between New England and the sun is the same as the distance between Florida and the sun. The distance is determined by the Earth's orbit around the sun, and it is consistent for all locations on Earth.

Is Florida or New Hampshire closer to the equator?
Depending on the time of year, the earth is anywhere from roughly 147 million to 152 million km from the sun. That variance of roughly 5 million km alone dwarfs any tiny difference in the distances from the sun to New York or Florida. But technically, Florida is to an extremely tiny and meaningless degree closer to the sun... during the day. But if you consider absolute distance, disregarding the fact that at night the body of the earth is between the eastern US and the sun, then the distances average out over a year. If Florida is closer to the sun during the day, it is farther from the sun at night. It is not the closeness of the sun that makes the seasons or different earth locations warmer or cooler; it is the angle at which the sun's rays hit.
