No. It is closet to the sun in January!
Seasons are caused by tilt of the earth, not how close to the sun it is.
But for which Hemisphere?
Season are determined by tilt. The earth stays the same distance away from the sun every season.
Earth is closest (perihelion) on January 3 and furthest away (aphelion) on July 4. The distance varies between 147.1 and 152.1 million kilometres.
The Sun's rays are about 7% stronger at perihelion compared to aphelion. This is not enough to overcome the main seasonal effects on the weather caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis. The effect is also much less than a permanent change of 7% in the Suns rays would be.
No. It is actually closest during December and January.

during august the moon is extremly close it is 12ft * 13-34 parallel to be precise
The earth ... and every point inside it and on its surface ... is closest to the sun when it reaches the perihelion point in its orbit, early in January.
The Earth's perihelion (closest point to the Sun) is in January, usually around January 4th. The distance is about 147.5 million kilometers, compared to the farthest distance of 152.6 million kilometers in July.
Earth reaches the point in its orbit called 'perihelion' early in January.

Not necessarily. The moon orbits the earth once per lunar cycle which is roughly once per month. Each orbit has a point of perigee (closest approach to earth) and apogee (farthest approach to earth). I could be mistaken, but I don't believe there is anything special about the month of August regarding the moon's perigee.
