Answer:

nope

Step-by-step explanation:

Contrary to popular belief, the seasons are not determined by the earth's distance from the sun. The seasons are actually caused by the earth's tilted axis. Because the axis is tilted, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it's warm.

hope this helps:)
