Popular Science
We’re three million miles closer to the sun in January than we are in July. So why isn't it hot?"... it turns out that our distance to the sun actually has very little to do with the temperature we experience. It has far more to do with the angle at which the light hits us."

AH...BUT IT IS NOT.
