Why is it hotter in summer than in the winter in the northern hemisphere?

Because the Earth's axis tilts 23.5 degrees and during the time we call "summer" this tilt in the northern hemisphere is towards the Sun. The Earth is in fact further away from the Sun during the northern hemisphere's summer (aphelion is around July 5 this year) but the more perpendicular rays from our star heat the atmosphere and land better then. (Closest approach - perihelion - is during the first week of January).
