Not so you'd notice. The Earth is about 2 million miles farther away from the Sun on July 2, as compared to January 4, but that's only about a 3% difference, and it's still hot enough to blister your unprotected skin after an hour in the noonday Sun.

The Sun is nearer to us when it's winter in the northern hemisphere, but remember that's summertime in the southern hemisphere.

So, in Australia for example the Sun is closer in the summer.

Because of the Earth's tilted axis, the Sun is higher in the sky in the summer, so that makes it feel hotter.

That effect is far more important than the changes in the Sun's distance.

So, the Sun usually feels hotter in the summer, not cooler.

Does window tint make a vehicle hotter?

Yes, it can, If your window tint reflects IR heat it can be warmer in the car when the temperatures are cooler outside. because the heat is reflected back into the car. As for sitting in the hot summer sun the tinted windows will feel cooler inside than the non-tinted windows. My car with 35% VLT Film that was a high quality ceramic film that blocked 90% or more of the IR. When I was driving in the summer with the sun coming in between the side window and the windshield on my leg, my calf was much cooler where the sun was shielded by the tinted window, my lower part of the leg was much warmer.
