In August Earth is not closest to the sun. Actually the Earth is closest to the sun in December/January. The actual date varies from year to year. In 2012, Earth is at perihelion - its closest point to the sun - on Thursday, January 5 at 1 hour Universal Time
The Sun and Earth are closest to each other during the month of January. The Earth is furthest from the Sun during the month of July.
