The Earth is closest to the Sun, a position known as perihelion, around early January. However, the seasons are determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis, not its distance from the Sun. During this time, the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter because it is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in shorter days and lower temperatures. Conversely, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun and experiences summer.

Is it true that earth is closest to the sun when its summer in the northern hemisphere?
No. As it happens the Earth is closest to the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. Seasons like summer and winter are related to the tilt of the earth with respect to the plane of its orbit about the sun, not to the distance from the sun.
Is it winter everywhere on earth when the earth is closest to the sun?
no, it is winter in either the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere.it all depends on the tilt of the earth to the sun.

When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter Given the effects of precession will this still be the case in 13000 years?
Why is the Earth is closest to the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere's in winter?
Because the Earth travels round the Sun in an elliptical orbit and at present the closest approach the Sun during that elliptical orbit occurs during the Northern winter. However precession of the axis of the Earth's rotation means that in about 12 thousand years time, the closest approach will be during the Northern Summer.
When it is winter in the northern hemisphere is the earth closest to the sun?
no.Distance of the sun to earh it doesnt effect in anyway the earth.
What season is ocurring in Detroit when the earth is closest to the sun?
The Sun is closest to the Earth in January. In the northern hemisphere, it is winter at that time. The seasons are not caused by changes in the Sun-Earth distance.
Does the northern hemisphere expierence winter when earth is far from the sun?
No. Winter is December-February and the earth reaches perihelion (it's closest approach to the sun) in January.
What months for the northern hemisphere is earth closest to sun?
In the Northern Hemisphere, Earth is closest to the Sun during the month of January. This point in the Earth's orbit is known as perihelion and typically occurs around January 3rd. Despite being closest to the Sun in winter, the Northern Hemisphere experiences colder temperatures due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
