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.

The northern and southern hemisphere of the earth experience the same seasons at the same time - true?
No, it is not true. Due to the tilting of the world, when it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and visa versa.
Why does winter occur 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.
When it is spring in the northern hemisphere what season is it in the southern hemisphere?
When it is spring in the northern hemisphere, it is fall (autumn) in the southern hemisphere. This is because the Earth's tilt causes the two hemispheres to experience opposite seasons at the same time.

What is the elapsed time in days from the first day of summer to the first day of winter?
From 1900 to 2150, the average length of time per year from the beginning of the northern hemisphere summer to the beginning of the northern hemisphere winter is 183.52 days, and the average length of time per year from the beginning of the southern hemisphere summer to the beginning of the southern hemisphere winter is 181.72 days. The reason that northern hemisphere summers are longer than southern hemisphere summers is that Earth is closest to the sun, at its perihelion, in January, and it's farthest from the sun, at its aphelion, in July, and orbiting bodies always travel faster when they're closer to the body they're orbiting.
When is Earth the closest to the sun during which season in the southern hemisphere?
In simple terms, a summer solstice refers to the time period in which a hemisphere is tilted to face its parent sun most directly. This means that the day on which it occurs will be the 'longest' of the year for that hemisphere. (The phenomenon is not limited to Earth, but cam be found on any planet with a tilt in its axis). The Northern Hemisphere's summer solstice for 2015 will occur on June 21, at 16:38 (Universal Coordinated Time).
If the earths tilts toward the sun in the northern hemisphere and it is summer what is happening in the northern hemisphere?
