If you're referring to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, the closest point is called the perihelion and it usually comes between the 2nd and 4th of January each year.

What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?
The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.
What month is the Sun closest to Florida?
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.
When is Jupiter closest to the sun?
As is true of all the planets, Jupiter is closest to the sun when it is at perihelion. Planetary orbits are elliptical, and so there is one point per planetary year when they are at their closest, and another point when they are farthest out.
What is perhillion?
Perhillion is the the point of orbit where a planet is closest to the sun
What point of the planet is closest too the sun?
They are all exposed to sun light; none of them is closed to the sun. However, from the distance of Neptune the sun is barely discernible from the other stars in the sky, and the dark half of Mercury gets extremely cold because its day is so very long.
What point in a planets oribits is closest to the sun?
perihelion is the point in a planets orbit when it is closest to the sun
Is the sun point the poit of the planet closest to the sun?
no, it is not a planet the closest is merkury
What is the point of the planet Mercury closest to the sun?
Mercury rotates (slowly) as it orbits the Sun. So, the point that's closest to the Sun changes with time.
Is the equator the closest point to the sun?
no
When a planet is closest to the sun in its orbit?
Closest point is called the perihelion; furthest from sun is aphelion.
What is The point at which the planet is closest to the sun to its orbit is called?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil

What is an orbits perihelion?
The point at which it is closest to the Sun.
Is the subsolar point on a planet the point that is closest to the sun?
No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.
What month is the Sun closest to Florida?
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.
How many miles away is the earth when it is the closest to the sun?
At perihelion, the closest point to the sun, earth is about 92 million miles away from the sun.
On Mercury what is the point closest to the sun?
Mercury's axial tilt is pretty much zero, so the surface point closest to the sun will always be on the equator, at the point directly facing the sun (which changes with Mercury's rotation and orbit).
