Angular size of the Sun at Earth's orbital periapsis called perihelion (max./closest, 2. to 5. January) and at apoapsis called aphelion (min./furthest, 3. to 6. July). The resulting 7% difference in solar intensity does not overpower geographic factors of climate, with seasons staying more moderate on the Southern Hemisphere due to having less landmass.
