The orbit of the Earth around the Sun is an ellipse. The distance is not fixed, but varies throughout its orbit. The average distance is about 150 million kilometers (149,597, â¦ 890 km) or about 93 million miles (92,955,820 mi.). The distance at perihelion is 147,098,290 km, the distance at aphelion is 152,098,232 km.arth is closest to the sun when the northern hemisphere is in winter. So it is immediately obvious that axial tilt plays a far greater role than annual orbital distance. Howe â¦ ver, orbital cycles do account for hundred thousand year periods of ice ages known as Milankovitch Cycles. 1 person found this useful.
To say that the Earth's heat budget is balanced ignores an important point. The amount of incoming solar energy varies at different latitudes (Figure 15.17). This is partly due to the seasons. At the equator, days are about the same length all year and the Sun is high in the sky.
