True
In August Earth is not closest to the sun. Actually the Earth is closest to the sun in December/January. The actual date varies from year to year. In 2012, Earth is at perihelion - its closest point to the sun - on Thursday, January 5 at 1 hour Universal TimeThe Sun and Earth are closest to each other during the month of January. The Earth is furthest from the Sun during the month of July.

False. Try January!

No. It is closet to the sun in January! Seasons are caused by tilt of the earth, not how close to the sun it is. But for which Hemisphere? Season are determined by tilt. The earth stays the same distance away from the sun every season.

That is true.
False:The Earth has an ecliptic orbit around the Sun and is closest to the Sun at perihelion [See related link]. This occurs about January 3rd. So the closest point to the Sun is during the winter months in the northern hemisphere.The Earth is the furthest from the Sun at aphelion [See related link] around 4th July.The phenomenon of seasons are influenced by the tilt of the earth's axis, and which hemisphere is receiving the most direct light.There-in lies your answer.Is the earth closer or farther from the sun when the northern hemisphere receives the most direct sunlight?
It is false. The Earth's orbit is an ellipse (oval), although the distance only varies by about 3.4% from closest to farthest (147 million to 152 million kilometers).
