Answer:

summer

Step-by-step explanation:

When the land is in the perihelion the entire northern hemisphere, including New York is in the summer, while the entire southern hemisphere is in the winter. This is because the perihelion is the moment when the earth reaches its closest approach to the sun, in the region of the northern hemisphere. The concept of perihelion is important to understand what the proximity and distance between the earth and the sun can cause in the seasons.
