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.
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.
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.
The point closest to the sun on Earth is called the perihelion. This occurs when the Earth is at its closest distance to the sun during its orbit, which is about 147.1 million kilometers (91.4 million miles) away.
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
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.
perihelion is the point in a planets orbit when it is closest to the sun
no, it is not a planet the closest is merkury

Mercury rotates (slowly) as it orbits the Sun. So, the point that's closest to the Sun changes with time.

No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.
Closest point is called the perihelion; furthest from sun is aphelion.

The point at which it is closest to 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.
At perihelion, the closest point to the sun, earth is about 92 million miles away from the sun.
The planet Mercury is closest to the sun, at about three-tenths Earth's distance at the nearest point in its orbit.
