It varies, as Earth's orbit is elliptical. At this time of year, the Earth is actually closer to the sun than it is in summer in the Northern Hemisphere. At perihelion, which occurs on January 3, the Earth is only 91.5 million miles from the Sun, while at perihelion, roughly July 3, the Earth is 94.5 million miles from the Sun. The seasons arise due to the 23 degree tilt in the Earth's axis as compared to the Sun's axis of rotation.
