    Earth is closest to the Sun during the Southern Hemisphere Summer. For the North, that of course coincides with our winter.

        @neiltyson so I'm assuming that winter is typically colder in a town or city equidistant to the equator on the Southern Hemisphere?

        @neiltyson True but irrelevant. Earth's seasons are determined by its inclination to its plane of orbit, not varying distance from the sun

        @neiltyson It's because of this closeness thing that I like to go to the beach in January, & in July I'm always wearing thermal underwear.
