Is it true that the Earth is closest to the sun in a Canadian winter and farthest from the sun in a Canadian summer?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
quantumclaustrophobe say: That's true. We're closest in early January, and furthest in early July.
-
Ronald 7 say: Yes
Perihelion is on 2nd-4th January
Aphelion is on July 2nd-4th
Close enough you could say to the Solstices
-
Tom S say: True.
-
tham153 say: perihelion occurs January 3 or 4 (depending on leap year cycle effects); and aphelion on July 2 or 3

busterwasmycat say: At this time. It is one of the supposed reasons we are not in an ice age, that we are in an interim warm period. Much more land mass is in the northern hemisphere than the southern hemisphere, and much more toward the arctic than the antarctic (despite that continent sitting on the south pole), so the less severe winters because of that slight proximity difference is why the climate is relatively "warm". It won't last. Then what?

Choose a bloody best answer. It's not hard. say: As it happens, and the same for the whole northern hemisphere.
-
say: We need to raise this matter with the Princess of Canada asap, since this discriminatory incline has something to do with the Trump's foreign policy.

CarolOklaNola say: Yes, it IS true. Perihelion is January 2,3 or 4, aphelion is July 2,3 or 4. There's a 5 million kilometer or 3 million mile difference.

Bill-M say: YES > read on > Earth is closest to the sun every year in early January, when it's winter for the Northern Hemisphere. We're farthest away from the sun in early July, during our Northern Hemisphere summer. So you see there's not a huge distance difference between perihelion and aphelion. Earth's orbit is very nearly circular.
