No. The Earth is closest to the Sun in early January. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth on it's axis relative to the Sun. In August the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun and thus is at its hottest. In January the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun and it's at its hottest, while the northern hemisphere is tilted away making it colder.
