Answer 11

It does not have to do with how close you are to the sun. The difference the tilt creates in proximity is so small compared to the proximity change due to the elliptical orbit of the earth. The tilt causes a seasonal difference because the light spreads as it hits a surface which is not plane parallel, causing the more intense radiation to be focused at the angle tilting towards it.
