In New York in what season is the earth actually closest in distance to the sun?

The Earth is closest to the sun during the winter season in New York, typically around early January. This may seem counterintuitive since it's cold during winter, but the Earth's tilt (not its distance from the sun) is what causes the seasons.

Is the winter solstice tilted toward the sun?

At both the winter and summer solstices, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. What differs is which hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. In the northern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the northern hemisphere it tilted away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the southern hemisphere it tilted towards the sun. When it is the winter solstice in one hemisphere, it is the summer solstice is in the other hemisphere. For a winter solstice, that particular hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.

The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?

No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.

Why sun is cold in winter?

The sun is not actually cold in winter. The perception of coldness during winter is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis away from the sun during that season, causing sunlight to be less direct and therefore less warming. This, combined with the Earth's position in its orbit, results in colder temperatures experienced in the winter months.
