Detailed explanation-1: -During part of the year, Earth is closer to the Sun than at other times. However, in the Northern Hemisphere, we are having winter when Earth is closest to the Sun and summer when it is farthest away!
Detailed explanation-2: -The closer you are to the sun, the hotter the climate. Even a small move closer to the sun could have a huge impact. That’s because warming would cause glaciers to melt, raising sea levels and flooding most of the planet. Without land to absorb some of the sun’s heat, temperatures on Earth would continue to rise.
Detailed explanation-3: -In short, the sun is getting farther away from Earth over time. On average, Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from the sun, according to NASA (opens in new tab). However, its orbit is not perfectly circular; it’s slightly elliptical, or oval-shaped.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun appears higher in the sky during the northern hemisphere summer, moving lower as we move into winter. The larger loop shows how the Sun’s position changes rapidly between measurements. At that time of year the Earth is closer to the Sun and therefore travels faster around it.
