When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun that part of the earth is closer to the sun and thus hotter? True or false

False

Explanation:

Most of us have a belief that Earth is very close to the sun in summer season and so it is hotter. Also, since Earth is far away from the sun in winter season, it is colder. Though this idea looks true, it is incorrect.

The orbit of the Earth isn't a perfect circle. It is quite tilted. During some months of the year, Earth is very close to the sun than at other times. We have winter when the Earth is very close to the sun and summer when it is far away in the Northern Hemisphere. So when we compare the distance of the Sun from the Earth, this change in Earth's distance throughout the year does not affect our weather much.
