Why does the north pole stay cold during the summer even though the sun is tilted towards the northern hemisphere?
The closest the poles ever get to receiving direct sunlight is at the time of the summer solstice. At that time the sun is only 23.5° above the horizon when viewed from the pole, and when you're at one of the poles, that's the highest it ever gets. When something is not directly facing the sun, it will not warm up as rapidly as something that is. I saw that demonstrated on TV years ago with two foil-covered identical containers with thermometers inside (the foil covering of one container was facing the sun; the foil on the other was not). Also, there's not much at the poles to absorb the solar radiation. Most of it reflects off of all that ice and snow.

What direction is the hemisphere tilted during the summer solstice?

What hemisphere is tilted towards the sun during summer?
It depends on which hemisphere you live in. North of the equator, it is the northern hemisphere that is tilted towards the sun in the summer, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures, while at the same time the southern hemisphere gets less sunlight resulting in shorter days and cooler weather. When the Earth tilts the other way, the opposite occurs and it is the north's turn to experience winter while the south enjoys summer.
Which way is the northern hemisphere tilted during the summer?
The northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun during the summer, which results in longer days, higher temperatures, and more direct sunlight. This tilt is what causes summer in the northern hemisphere.
What hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the summer solstice?
The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun during the summer solstice is the Northern Hemisphere. This tilt causes the North Pole to be tilted towards the Sun, leading to longer days and warmer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere during this time of the year.
