No, the earth is further away from the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere, and closer in the winter, but because of the earth's axial tilt it receives the sun's rays more directly in summer.

The Earth is tilted closer to the Sun.
During summer we are closer to the sun. The sun makes our temperature increase.

During summer, the sun is closer to Earth.
It is experiencing Summer Because it is closer to the sun
When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is actually the southern hemisphere that is closer to the sun. This is because Earth's axis is tilted, causing one hemisphere to be tilted towards the sun and experience summer while the other is tilted away and experiences winter.
The earth is actually closer to the sun during the winter in the northern hemisphere
Because the sun is closer to the earth during summer - making the overall temperature warmer !
The sun's direct rays are closer.
Earth is closest to the sun in early January, andfarthest from the sun in early July.
