Question

In the Northern Hemisphere, during which season does the Earth reach its greatest distance from the Sun?

Answer 1

I believe it's during the Winter season

Answer 2

The Earth is closest to the Sun, or at the perihelion, about 2 weeks after the December Solstice, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, the Earth is farthest away from the Sun, at the aphelion point, 2 weeks after the June Solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying warm summer months.
