During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the earth is tilted by its axis so the Northern Hemisphere is away from the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun.

During winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the earth axis is tilted the other way, so that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is farther away.
