... then it is is said to be in the Meridian - an imaginary line that goes from the north, crossing the zenith, to the south.

Whatever is tilted toward the sun has summer. So the southern hemisphere will have winter.

Well it depends is your location in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere? Well if your location is in the Northern Hemisphere then you will be tilted toward the sun. If your location is in the Southern Hemisphere then you are tilted away from the sun.

When the earth is at the point in its orbit at which the northern hemisphere's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum, winter is beginning in the southern hemisphere.
It is Winter in the northern hemisphere.
The Northern Hemisphere will be in summer, and the Southern Hemisphere will be in winter.
when the earth is tilted toward the sun the northern hemisphere is experiencing
it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
it is sunny and hot
The Northern Hemisphere experiences winter when the South Pole is pointed toward the Sun.
winter
The northern hemisphere has nighttime
the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres are tilted toward the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
No. Whichever pole is tilted toward the sun, its hemisphere is having Summer. (The tilt is the reason. It has nothing to do with distances from the sun.)
