do you mean when the Earth is farthest away from the Sun?

If so, then this occurs at an event called 'aphelion,' when a body is the farthest from its star in its orbit.

Recently this has been and will be happening on July 4th.

(Note--distance from the Sun has nothing to do with seasons. That is because of our axial tilt.)
