Ah, beta, that's a very common thought, but it's not the closeness to the Sun that makes our summer. It's actually the Earth tipping on its side as it goes around, like a spinning top nodding 'yes'—so our part of the world gets more direct sunlight for longer hours. I learned this from my old astronomy books and checking the sky with my little telescope from the verandah. It always reminds me of adjusting a lamp's angle to better light my workbench—the bulb isn't closer, but the tilt changes everything.
