Away.
That's correct! During the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere, which occurs around June 21st, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, experiencing summer. This tilt causes the northern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures. Conversely, the southern hemisphere experiences shorter days and cooler temperatures during this time.
We have seasons because Earth is tilted on its axis and it revolves around the sun. During May, June, and July, the northern hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the sun. The same is true of the Southern Hemisphere in November, December, and January. It is the tilt of the Earth that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months.
Around that time, earth's north pole is tilted toward the sun. This is also around the time that the earth is farthest from the sun.
The longest night of the year in the Southern Hemisphere typically occurs around June 21st during the winter solstice. This is when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the sun, resulting in shorter daylight hours and longer nights.
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.

There is only one axis and it is always tilted. The part of the axis we call the 'north' pole is tilted toward the sun in the northern summer, and the 'south' pole is tilted toward the sun during the southern summer. That said, the earth itself is a little closer to the sun during the southern summer/northern winter.
In the Summer (June).
In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.
For societies that measure the passage of a year in the same system of months, the months occur at the same times worldwide. But the seasons are opposite for places in the northern hemisphere (such as the U.S.) and places in the southern hemisphere (such as Argentina). So although June in the U.S. is June in Argentina, June is summer in the U.S. and winter in Argentina. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted, so when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun the southern is tilted away, and vice-versa.
It is September or March when neither half of Earth is tilted towards the sun, resulting in equal day and night length, known as the equinoxes.
Your answer depends on where you are. At the South Pole when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer.
A summer season results when the sun is in the sky longer and its electromagnetic radiation strikes Earth at a higher angle.
Winter. That's December and January for the northern hemisphere, and June-July for the southern hemisphere.
Assuming the observer is in the North, then the southern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun during the Winter Solstice in December. However, for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice would occur in June, and the northern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun.
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.
It is Winter in the Southern Hemisphere
