Does the northern hemisphere expierence winter when earth is far from the sun?
No. Winter is December-February and the earth reaches perihelion (it's closest approach to the sun) in January.
What evidence is there that the season do not depend on how far away the earth is from the Sun?
The best bit of evidence is that northern and southern hemisphere esperience the opposite seasons. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. If the seasons were dependent on Earth's distance from the sun, then the hemispheres would experience the same seasons at the same time.

What are the differences between a winter and summer solstice?
For the northern hemisphere: During the summer solstice, the Sun is as far north as she can get. During the winter solstice, the Sun is as far south as she can get. For the souther hemisphere it is the other way round.
How does the sun make seasons?
The Sun does nothing except shine on the Earth, hitting the Equator approximately directly from above. It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis, as it orbits round the Sun, that causes the seasons. For instance: when the northern hemisphere tilts towards the Sun, it is Summer in the northern hemisphere and Winter in the southern hemisphere. Eventually, the southern hemisphere has its turn of tilting towards the Sun, and it is Summer in the southern hemisphere and Winter in the northern hemisphere.
When the earth is closet to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter why?
It maters more about the rotation of earth so in different places in the world its winter and other is about 120 degree hot so it mostly matter where you are as the earth rotates to the sun. the more far away you are away from the sun you get colder.
Why is it winter in the northern hemisphere when the earth is closest to the sun?
The distance to the sun varies by only a small amount throughout the year and does very little to influence temperature on Earth. Far more important is the tilt of the earth, which causes the sun's radiation to be much stronger during the summer and weaker in the winter.

Tilted earth comparison to winter?
The Earth is tilted 23 degrees. The direction of the tilt always remains in the same direction, and therefore, as the Earth moves around the Sun, the Southern hemisphere would for almost half the orbit be closer to the Sun (summer) than the Northern hemisphere (winter), while for a little less than the other half of the orbit the Northern hemisphere would be closer (summer), while the Southern hemisphere would be further away (winter). At both sides of the orbits there would be a point where the tilt is neither towards or away from the Sun, in which case both hemispheres would be equally far away from the Sun - fall / spring.
What season in the northern hemisphere is the North Pole tipping away from the sun?
This is dependent on how far it is tipping from the sun. If it is tipping as far away as possible, then it is the middle of Winter.
What is the climate of the northern hemisphere?
The climate of the northern hemisphere varies depending on the region. Generally, it ranges from Arctic conditions in the far north to temperate and subtropical climates further south. The northern hemisphere experiences distinct seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Is the earth closer to the sun in summer than in winter?
Well that depends on where you live and if you call July "summer" . Earth is at the far end (aphelion) of its eliptical orbit in the northern hemisphere's summer (~July 4), and at its closest (perihelion) during winter ~(January 4).It is not Earth, but your location on Earth that gets more direct rays of the sun in summer than in winter. This has to do with your latitude location on earth (e.g., 45° north) and the axial tilt of the earth. (Without axial tilt, there would hardy be summer or winter anywhere on earth: 45° north would be as warm all year long.)(The exact same thing applies to all Australians, but the exact reverse: in a Norwegian's summer, the Australian experiences 'winter'.)What if the questioner lives south of the Equator?If the questioner lives in the southern hemisphere, perihelion (earth's closest approach to the sun) happens during their summer -their warm season - (along with slightly longer solar days) and aphelion (Earth's farthest approach to the sun) happens during their winter - cold season - (along with slightly shorter solar days).
