No. The Sun is always above the horizon somewhere in the Southern hemisphere just as it always is above the horizon somewhere in the Northern hemisphere. About half of each hemisphere is illuminated at every instant (well more of the Southern hemisphere is illuminated from the end of September to the end of March and more of the Northern hemisphere during the other half year).
What happens when the north end of earths axis is tilted torward the sun?
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.
How can you tell what the directions are from the stars in your hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere you want to look for Polaris or the northern star. This star is special as it does not move much, and is always in the north. All of the other stars appear to rotate around it as the earth spins on it's axis. You can find this star by looking for the Big Dipper, take the end two stars opposite the handle and continue the imaginary line further until you get to it, the end of the Little Dipper. In the Southern Hemisphere, look for the Southern Cross.

During which time period does the Southern Hemisphere have summer?
In some Southern Hemisphere countires, it's official that Spring arrives with September. That has the advantage that it puts winter's end at a time when the temperature is similar to what it was at winter's beginning (June. 1 in the Southern Hemisphere--December 1 in the Northern Hemisphere). But many have said that, in the Northern Hemisphere, April feels like the first Spring month. I agree. That corresponds to October in the Southern Hemisphere. By April, it's become warm and sunny, and there is sufficient sunlight to luxuriantly bring back the plant-life.
