Paradoxically, this cosmic distance bears little influence on the terrestrial thermometer. The true maestro behind our seasons is Earth’s axial tilt - an elegant 23.5-degree inclination that orchestrates the symphony of solstices and equinoxes, earth aphelion. As July unfolds, the Northern Hemisphere leans sunward, basking in the full solar glare of summer. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere, tilted away, experiences shorter, cooler days.
