The sun isn’t always a fixed distance from earth. It’s closest in January

Forgive me if I’m just missing a joke, but it’s not about the distance, it’s about the angle. In the summer the angle means the days are longer, and sunlight travels through less atmosphere (and is therefore less attenuated) before it reaches you and gives you sunburn.
