When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the northern part of the earth has long days and short nights.
The tilting of the Earth on its axis is what gives us the changing seasons. When the North Pole tilts towards the Sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.

yes, it is. since the earth's axis is tilted, let's say ur in the northern hemisphere, then when the north side is tilted toward the sun then it's summer. if it's tilted sideways so it's not tilted toward or away from the sun, then it's either spring or fall.
