As discovered by Johannes Kepler, the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it's orbit becomes. As you might expect Mercury completes it's orbit (year) in the fastest time, and each outer planet does so progressively slower.

Earth is closer to the sun in December than in June In which of these two months is earth moving faster around the sun?

Earth moves faster in its orbit around the sun when it is closer to the sun, which happens in December. This is due to the conservation of angular momentum in the solar system, where the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it moves in its orbit.
