Maybe you should study the actual observations made by astronomers since the time of Kepler. It isn’t only distance but the angle of incidence that governs how much solar energy lands on the planet. This isn’t a matter of conjecture, opinion or consensus. The earth is two to three million miles closer to the sun on January fifth than on July tenth.
The night side of mercury is seventy million miles closer to the sun than we are and hundreds of degrees colder.
Good luck with all YOU KNOW. Sadly, you left out the Creator of the Universe; Who could have taught you much more.
The day you accept Him as your Savior, He will reveal so much information to you .. it will boggle your mind.
