Question

Which month the earth distance becomes minimum from the sun

Answer 1

In early january earth is the closest to sun

In fact,On January 4, 2003, our Earth made its closest approach to the Sun (an event astronomers call perihelion).

Answer 2

The closest point the Earth is to Sun is called the Perihelion. The farthest point is called as Apihelion.

Generally, every year Earth reaches the closest to sun in the early January. The actual date of Perihelion and Apihelion differ from year to year.

Perihelion occurs in the month of January every year and Apihelion occurs in the month of july.

Although Earth is closest to sun in January but its winters in northern hemisphere and Earth is at Apihelion in July but still its summers. This is due to the fact that seasons depend not on the distance from Sun but due to the tilt of Earth on its axis.

In 2019, Earth was at its Perihelion on 2-3 January.
