We are closest to the Sun during a point in our orbit called perihelion, which occurs around January 3rd each year. At this time, Earth is approximately 91.4 million miles (147.1 million kilometers) away from the Sun. Despite being closest in distance, this point does not significantly affect our seasons, which are primarily determined by the tilt of Earth's axis.
revolution
A planet moves along its orbit around the sun in an elliptical path due to gravitational force. The planet travels at varying speeds, with faster speeds near perihelion (closest point to the sun) and slower speeds near aphelion (farthest point from the sun).
The orbital far point, or aphelion, is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is farthest away from the sun. This is in contrast to the perihelion, which is the point in the orbit where the object is closest to the sun.

Since Mercury is the closest planet, it travels around the sun in the shortest amount of time. A year on Mercury equals 88 days.
revolution
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.
A planet moves along its orbit around the sun in an elliptical path due to gravitational force. The planet travels at varying speeds, with faster speeds near perihelion (closest point to the sun) and slower speeds near aphelion (farthest point from the sun).

No, it is not true that Earth is closest to the sun in August. Earth reaches its closest point to the sun, known as perihelion, around early January. In contrast, Earth is farthest from the sun, or at aphelion, in early July. Therefore, Earth is not closest to the sun in August.
Venus has the closest period of revolution to Earth, taking approximately 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.
It is the earth's perihelion or, less conventionally, the sun's perigee.
Since Mercury is the closest planet, it travels around the sun in the shortest amount of time. A year on Mercury equals 88 days.
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.
