The Northern Hemisphere does not experience winter when the Earth is farthest from the sun.
The cause of the seasons is the Earth's axial tilt, which is independent of the apsides of Earth's orbit, known as aphelion and perihelion.
When Earth is farthest from the sun, it is at aphelion. Aphelion currently occurs in July, which is the Northern Hemisphere's summer.
No,it hits the southern hemisphere directly in the winter of the northern hemisphere. Otherwise it would be summertime in the northern hemisphere. -Monicalovesu
No, the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter when it is tilted away from the sun, which is during the period when Earth is closest to the sun in its elliptical orbit. The distance from the sun does not significantly affect the seasons on Earth.
It depends on which half is facing the sun.

No. The Northern Hemisphere (which the United States is in) axial tilt is the farthest from our Sun, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. During that same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, and it is summer time in the Southern Hemisphere.
At the winter solistice.
That depends on whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. If you are in the Northern, then your winter solstice is the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. If you are in the Southern, then your winter solstice is the summer solstice for everyone in the Northern Hemisphere.
The northern hemisphere experiences winter in December because it is farther from the sun than the southern hemisphere which turn experiences summer during the same time.
False. The Northern Hemisphere experiences winter when it is tilted away from the sun, not because of Earth's distance from the sun. The Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical, but the seasonal changes are primarily due to the axial tilt of the Earth, which causes varying angles of sunlight throughout the year.
Yes. When the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer, the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter.
The hemisphere pointed farthest away from the sun experiences winter, as it receives the least direct sunlight. This occurs during the solstice, specifically the winter solstice for that hemisphere, when the Earth's axial tilt is such that the sun's rays are at their most indirect angle. For example, during the December solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, leading to shorter days and cooler temperatures.
