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.
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.
At the winter solistice.
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.
Yes. When the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer, the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter.

When the Arctic Circle experiences 24 hours of darkness, the hemisphere that experiences summer is the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes opposite seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
December through February
