spring is when the tilting towards the sun begins. Summer is the season of maximum tilt which gives us maximum daylight and sunshine [ heat radiation ].

It's because of the tilt in the Earth's axis, causing the one pole at a time to point towards the Sun.
If you're in the southern hemisphere, then it is Summer when the southern part of the earth is tilted towards the sun. If you're in the northern hemisphere, it is Winter at that time.
When the earth is at the point in its orbit at which the northern hemisphere's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum, winter is beginning in the southern hemisphere.
Because the earth is on a tilt, when it's summer, your side of the earth is on a tilt towards the sun. When it's winter, the earth is on the other side of the sun, but it's still tilting the same way, so your side of the earth is tilting away.
yes, the season's change based apon the tilt that it is facing the sun
The Earth is always tilted by the same angle all the time. The earth orbits the sun. Where it during that orbit and where you are on the planet that determine the season you are in. You are best to look at an animation on youtube to get a feel for this phenomenon.
When the Earth tilts towards the Sun, during the northern hemisphere tilt towards summer, the northern hemisphere enjoys warm weather, while the southern hemisphere enters their winter period. Therefore, the tilted position (of the earth) depends on where the tilt is observed, and in which season.
No. It is closet to the sun in January! Seasons are caused by tilt of the earth, not how close to the sun it is. But for which Hemisphere? Season are determined by tilt. The earth stays the same distance away from the sun every season.
The Earth's revolution around the Sun, combined with its axial tilt. In summer at a particular latitude the heating effect of the Sun is usually a lot more than in the winter at that latitude. This is because the tilt is "towards" the Sun in the summer, but "away" from the Sun in the winter. The seasons are not caused by the small changes in the Earth's distance from the Sun during its orbit.
