Mercury is the closest to the Sun all the time.
The South Pole is closest to the sun during the southern hemisphere summer, which occurs around the end of December. This is because of the tilt of the Earth's axis and the elliptical shape of its orbit around the sun.
False. Earth is actually closest to the sun during the month of January.

No. It is actually closest during December and January.
Earth reaches the point in its orbit called 'perihelion' early in January.
Actually, Earth is closest to the sun in early January, but the exact date varies each year. This point in Earth's orbit is called the perihelion. The distance between Earth and the sun at perihelion is about 91 million miles.

Winter. The Earth reaches its perihelion (the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun) during the month of January (around January 3rd currently), which falls during the season of winter in the northern hemisphere.
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.
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.
