The Earth's closest approach to the Sun is called Perihelion.
The Earth's orbit is a slight ellipse. It is nearest the Sun at perihelion, around 3-4 January (about 147 million km), and farthest at aphelion, around 4 July (about 152 million km).
Solstices (about 21 June and 22 December) and equinoxes (about 21 March and 23 September) depend on the tilt of the Earth's axis, not its distance from the Sun.
