The earth is closest to the sun around the 3rd of January. This is during winter for the northern hemisphere, or summer for the Southern Hemisphere. This closest approach in the earths orbit is at the periapsis (in geometry terms), or the perihelion. The earth to sun distance at this point is 147,098,074 km (compared with an average distance of 149,597,888km).

The mutual gravitational force between any two masses is greatest when the masses are

closest together.

For earth and sun, that's the moment of 'perihelion'. In 2010, it occurred on January 3rd .
