In June the northern hemisphere is tiled towards the sun and in December the Southern Hemisphere is most tilted towards the sun so in spring/autumn wouldn’t the equator be most towards the sun so it would be hotter?
In: Physics
The effect of the sun being closest in January (7%) is almost as great as the angle being more favourable in March and September (8%). That leaves just July as the coldest month. As noted by other commenters, these effects are all tiny compared to the big seasonal changes outside the tropics.
