I wonder.
Does that make seasons South of the equator, more extreme?

Well it says that it will have no effect, then they admit that it does.

On Mars the difference between perihelion and aphelion is much greater than on earth. The reason this year's opposition will be especially favorable for viewers on earth is that Mars will be close to perihelion when it's at opposition.
The planet with the least eccentric orbit is Venus, followed by Neptune, earth, Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Mercury. If Pluto is counted as a planet it's in ninth place. If it's counted as a "dwarf planet," it is second among the ones discovered so far--after Eris.

“12:46 p.m. EDT (1646 GMT), when Earth will be 94,507,803 miles (152,095,566 kilometers) away from the sun.”
Would that be from the surface of the earth to the surface of the sun or is it from the center of the earth to the center of the sun?

"Averaged over...7 percent less intense than it is in January"
In statistics, normally extreme highs and lows are left out for standard deviation. Texas in July was not considered as part of the data imputs.

Correct! Else we’d be crossing Venus’ orbit about twice every year (once inbound and once outbound). And we could never have done that successfully 4.5 billion times without something real baaaaad happening.

Here in Joshua Tree, CA it sure doesn’t feel like it

Between Woodcrest, and Elsinore in Glen Valley. It’s still hotter’n ‘H’ after the Sun went down. A/C will be on all night guaranteed.
