Answer:
solar energy received at the Earth's closest and farthest locations from the sun
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest effect on climate is due to changes in received solar radiation. Changes in gravity or magnetic field have not been shown to have any significant effect on climate. Day/night differences are due to the tilt of the earth's axis, and have nothing to do with earth's orbit eccentricity.
The more circular the Earth's orbit, the less the difference in solar energy received at the Earth's closest and farthest locations from the sun.
