Why does summer occur in July when Earth is at its furthest point from the Sun?
On July 6, Earth hits aphelion, which is the point in its orbit where it is most distant from the Sun, sitting roughly 152 million kilometres away. Even with this gap, we still have summer in some regions because seasons are not dictated by how close we are to the Sun, but rather by the 23.5-degree tilt of Earth's axis. During July, the Northern Hemisphere leans toward the Sun, whereas the Southern Hemisphere tilts away, resulting in winter there.
