Is the winter solstice tilted toward the sun?
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.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun what season is it in Australia?
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.
Why does the Southern Hemisphere have different seasons?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, so when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun (Summer, in the North) the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun (Winter, in the South) and vice versa.
When the southern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun what season is it in the northern hemisphere?
It is Winter in the northern hemisphere.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun what season is it in north America?

Why do the northern latitudes have winter from October to March?

Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun . What season takes place in the Southern Hemisphere at this time?
Whatever is tilted toward the sun has summer. So the southern hemisphere will have winter.
Is the US tilted more toward the sun during the winter?
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.
When the south end of earths the axis is tilted toward the sun?
it is winter in the northern hemisphere
Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere but winter in the southern hemisphere?
Because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the northern hemisphere it is summer because the Earth is tilted toward the sun while the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun making it winter; and vica versa.

Which pole is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the southern hemisphere?
When it's winter in the southern hemisphere it's summer in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the North geographic pole is tilted towards the sun and the South geographic pole is tilted away from the sun.
Which pole is tilted toward the sun when it's winter in the southern hemisphere?
When it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere it's summer in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the North geographic pole is tilted towards the sun and the South geographic pole is tilted away from the sun.
