Speaker, Memory maker INTERESTING FACTS It's hard to believe, but the earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer! Why, then, is it colder in winter and warmer in summer? Winter and summer are actually caused not by the earth moving closer or farther away from the sun but by the tilt of the earth. In' our winter, the northern half of the world is tilted away from the sun, while in summer it is tilted toward the sun although the earth itself is really closer to the sun, in actual miles, during our winter. And, here's another interesting fact Robb Stucky has been helping Southwest Floridians furnish their homes in good taste with furniture values since 1915.
