Is the south end of Earth's axis tilted toward the sun in march?
The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
Why does a planet a planet keep orbiting the sun?
Inertia is trying to pull the planet away from the sun and gravity is pulling the planet toward the sun so the both inertia and gravity steer the planet around the sun
How will the hours of daylight for the North Pole change if the earths axis was always pointed toward the sun South Pole Equator your latitude?
If one end the Earth's axis always pointed toward the sun, then one pole would ALWAYS be in daylight, and the other pole would NEVER see daylight. Which is which would depend on which end of the axis pointed toward the sun. The Earth's "poles" are the ends of its axis of rotation. It's not possible for either end of the axis to point toward the equator or toward my latitude.
When the North Pole points in the direction of the sun Is this occurs during winter in Northern Hemisphere?
No. Whichever pole is tilted toward the sun, its hemisphere is having Summer. (The tilt is the reason. It has nothing to do with distances from the sun.)
When is the South Pole rotated away from the Sun is it on June 21?
The South Pole begins its rotation away from the sun on March 21, and on June 21, it changes course and begins its rotation toward the sun.
Does the Earth's axis spin at an angle to the Sun?
It spins on an axis that is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This tilt means that first one pole, then the other, is tipped toward the Sun as the planet circles the Sun. When the North Pole is inclined toward the Sun, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. When the South Pole is inclined toward the Sun, the Southern Hemisphere has summer and the northern has winter. Twice a year (spring and fall equinoxes) neither pole is tipped toward the Sun for a brief moment. On that day, day and night are about equally long (12 hours) for the entire planet. The axial tilt is about 23.5 degrees to the perpendicular to the orbital plane.

When the north pole points toward the sun what season is it in the northern hemisphere?
In North America, the season when the north pole points toward the sun is Summer.
When the North Pole points toward the sun the northern hemisphere is in what season?
In North America, the season when the north pole points toward the sun is Summer.
What season is the Northern Hemisphere experiencing when the South Pole is pointed toward the Sun?
The Northern Hemisphere experiences winter when the South Pole is pointed toward the Sun.
When the South Pole is tilted toward the sun what season does the US and Canada start?
Your answer depends on where you are. At the South Pole when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer.

In A Southern Hemsphere in winter the earth leans toward or away from the sun?
During the southern Hemisphere winter, the earth's north pole 'leans' toward the sun, while its south pole 'leans' away from the sun.
When the north pole is toward the sun in which hemisphere is it winter?
the southern
