On average, all planets in the Solar system are the same distance from the northern star. At any given time, some planets will technically be closer than others, but the difference is so small compared to the overall distance that they might as well be the same.

Are the planets nearer to the stars?
Sometimes. The Solar System with all the planets is a tiny thing compared to the distance to even the nearest star. When you see a planet near a star in the sky, it's in line with that star and therefore it's closer to the star than we are, but the difference in distance is extremely slight. At other places in its orbit the same planet could be further away than we are.

Is the US closer to the sun during the winter or the summer?
Neither. The United States (assuming that's what you meant), is a territory of land on the surface of the planet earth and thus does not move in respect to the rest of the planet. If your question was: "Is the planet earth closer to the sun during the winter or the summer of the northern hemisphere?" Then the answer would be that the planet earth is slightly closer (by 0.033 AU or ~ 5 million km) to the sun during the winter solstice than the summer solstice.

What cause the difference in the lenghth of year among the planets?
A planetary year is defined as the time it take a planet to make one orbit around its star. The closer a planet is to its star the smaller the diameter of the circle of its orbit. In other words it has less far to go to make an orbit. Thus the length of a year is linked to how far out from the star the planet orbits.
