In the same direction it tilts all year round, with respect to the orbital plane. The seasons come from the apparent effect of change of angle given by the Earth's orbit. The axis does precess, but that is very gradual, not an annual movement.

Why is it colder in winter when the sun rays is less concentrated?
Because of how the earth is tilted. In the western hemisphere in the winter season, the earth is tilted further away from the sun in comparison to the eastern hemisphere because of how the earth sits on its axis. When it is tilted further away from the sun in this point in the revolution, it will recieve less light because of its angle.
How far does the earth tilt when going from summer to winter?
The earth is tilted 23.4°, so from summer to winter, when the tilt is away from the sun, the difference is 46.8°.
What causes summer and winter solstice?
Thr tilt of the Earth's axis .
Is fall after winter?
Because the earth is tilted, the sun goes around the earth but the earth stays still. So the sun hits the earth at a different point in each season which makes the seasons have a different weather.
Why is it more difficult to get a suntan during the winter months?
It is more difficult to get a suntan during the winter months because the rays of the sun are not hitting the part of the earth where you are trying to get a sun tan less directly and they are weaker. This is because the earth is tilted at a 23.5% tilt. The equator is warmest because most of the rays of the sun hit there most of the time. When it is winter the side of the earth is tilted away from the sun, and the rays of the sun have to travel further to get there.
How is earth tilted when it is winter in the Northern hemisphere?

Winter, spring, summer, autumn. The Earth is ALWAYS tilted, otherwise there would be no seasons. (see related question)
What season is it in Britain if the north of the earth is tilted away from the sun?
winter
What is tilted relative to the earth's path around the sun, according to the article?
The earth's axis of rotation is tilted relative to the earth's path around the sun. As a result we are tilted towards the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter.
Is the winter solstice tilted toward the sun?
At both the winter and summer solstices, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. What differs is which hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. In the northern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the northern hemisphere it tilted away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the southern hemisphere it tilted towards the sun. When it is the winter solstice in one hemisphere, it is the summer solstice is in the other hemisphere. For a winter solstice, that particular hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.

When the earth is tilted away from the sun what does it cause in the northern hemisphere?

How does the earth tilt in solistices?
During the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is tilted away from the sun; during the summer solstice, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is tilted towards the sun.

when it's cold it would be tilted when its summer its Straight :)
