The Earth's axis is tilted towards or away from the Sun, depending on the time of year.
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.
No. It is not "the Earth" that is tilted away or towards the Sun, it is the hemisphere in which you live. And if you have summer, that basically means that your hemisphere is tilted TOWARDS the Sun.
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.
Summer occurs on the hemisphere of earth that is tilted towards the sun.
The northern hemisphere in the summer solstice is tilted the farthest towards the sun! :)
Because - the Earth is tilted on its axis - by about 11 degrees. This means that, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away. This - combined with the position of the sun in its orbit around the Sun - creates our seasons.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the southern hemisphere (where Australia is found) is tilted away. This means the sun's rays hit at a much shallower angle. That is what causes winter.
The earth is tilted away from the sun.
no
The Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the winter solstice.
you get no sun
The Sun is not tilted in the way that some planets are; it rotates on its axis, but its axis is not significantly tilted relative to its orbit around the Milky Way galaxy. However, its axis is tilted slightly in relation to its orbit around the center of the galaxy.
