Question

in the northern hemisphere, during which season is the earth furthest from the sun?
spring
winter
summer

Explanation:

The Earth's distance from the Sun has little to do with the seasons. Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis. However, the Earth is farthest from the Sun (aphelion) around July. In the Northern Hemisphere, July is summer. But wait, let's check again. Wait, no - wait the question is asking in the Northern Hemisphere, during which season is Earth furthest from the Sun. Aphelion (farthest) is around July 4th. In the Northern Hemisphere, June - August is summer. So the answer is Summer.

Answer:

C. Summer
