where 1.0 is the Astronomical Unit whose distance is 149,597,900 kilometers As you can see, the Earth is farthest from the Sun when the Northern Hemisphere is in the summer season, and closest in the winter. If you were living in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are reversed so that in the summer, the Sun is closest and in the winter it is farthest.
