Is it true that earth is closest to the sun when its summer in the northern hemisphere?
No. As it happens the Earth is closest to the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. Seasons like summer and winter are related to the tilt of the earth with respect to the plane of its orbit about the sun, not to the distance from the sun.

Earth is at perihelion (closest approach to the sun) in early January. This is pretty close to the dead of winter in the northern hemisphere, not the spring or fall.
What season is it when the earths northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun?
If the northern axis or North Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. If your talking about the angle of the planet when the Northern Hemisphere is receiving direct rays, its summer. If you are asking what the Northern Hemisphere season it is when planet Earth is closest to the Sun, it's winter.

When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter why is this true?
The Earth is closest to the sun in early January, but the tilt of Earth's axis is the primary reason for seasons. When the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it receives less direct sunlight, leading to winter.
