As SRF Meteo wrote, when the earth is furthest from the sun in July, the distance is 152.1 million kilometers.
The variation of the distance between the sun and the earth is due to the slightly elliptical orbit around which the earth revolves around the sun in one year. In the statement, it was stated that at 17:17 on Wednesday, the Earth will be closest to the sun.
Proximity to the sun has little to do with the seasons. The tilt of the Earth’s axis is decisive for hot and cold on Earth. It ensures that the sun is only 19 degrees above the horizon in winter, and the angle of incidence is around 66 degrees in summer. In the middle of summer the days are also longer.
SRF Meteo wrote that air currents also have a decisive influence on temperature. Air from the Mediterranean or the subtropical Atlantic is warmer than air from the north. (SDA)
