The Northern Hemisphere is inclined towards the Sun (so the rays are more nearly perpendicular to the ground). It was most inclined around June 20th and will be least inclined, without leaning away, on September 22nd. On December 21st, it will be tilted at its maximum angle away from the Sun.

No. The Earth is closest to the Sun in early January. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth on it's axis relative to the Sun.

In January the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun and it's at its hottest, while the northern hemisphere is tilted away making it colder.
