The facts

  • Seasons happen because Earth's axis is tilted about 23.4 degrees, not because of our distance from the sun. Wikipedia
  • Earth is actually closest to the sun in early January, during winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Wikipedia
  • When it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Wikipedia

Facts checked against their sources on November 4, 2026.

Why people are split

Summer people want long days, warm nights and being outside until 9 p.m. Winter people want cozy sweaters, snow days and the excuse to stay in with a movie.

FAQ

Why is it cold in winter if Earth is closer to the sun?

The tilt matters more than distance. In winter your half of the planet gets lower, weaker sunlight.

Is summer the same everywhere?

No. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres have opposite seasons.
