What is the season in the northern hemisphere when the Earth's axis is tilted away from the Sun?

When the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun it is summer there and winter in the northern hemisphere.
The Earth's axis is on a tilt relative to the Sun. This means that during the year as it follows its regular orbit around the Sun, for a period one hemisphere is closer to the Sun than the other. This is what creates the seasons we have on Earth.
When one hemisphere is closer to the Sun more heat is felt there. This is known as "summer". This is similar to how holding your hand closer to a flame will make your hand feel warmer.
Clearly, at the time one hemisphere is closer to our Sun, the other hemisphere is further away, meaning it is in "winter". When the two hemispheres are equidistant from the Sun then it is spring in one and autumn (fall - if you're American) in the other.
