No. The Earth's axis is directly overhead at the Equator, therefore the axis isn't north or south on the Equinox.

When is the north pole tilted towards the sun?
During the northern summer.

At the equinox (either one of them) the Sun is directly above the equator, neither north nor south.
In the northern hemisphere in what month is the autumnal equinox?
The Answer is September since it is the north
Why does the Southern Hemisphere have different seasons?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, so when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun (Summer, in the North) the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun (Winter, in the South) and vice versa.
How are solstice and equinox related to the position of earths axis?
Definition of solstice: two days of the year on which the noon sun is directly overhead at either 23.5 south or 23.5 north. I dont know about equinox but i know how solstice is related..So my answer is.... It's related to the earths axis because when the earth is rotating the sun hits north and south but not really at the same time. So that's why north or south would be 23.5 degrees .
What is the significants about the earths axis?
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. This is what creates the earths seasons. The two hemispheres (north and south) are always on opposite seasons.

How is earths tilted in relation to the sun in each month septemberdecembermarch and June?
Tangent to orbit, north away, tangent to orbit, south away.
When the north end of Earths axis is tilted toward the sun North America will experience short days or long days?
More direct rays and longer days (summer).
Is it true that the seasons are caused in part by the tilt of earths axis?
yes, it is. since the earth's axis is tilted, let's say ur in the northern hemisphere, then when the north side is tilted toward the sun then it's summer. if it's tilted sideways so it's not tilted toward or away from the sun, then it's either spring or fall.
When it is spring in Australia what season is it in North America?
It would be Fall (autumn) in North America. After the September equinox, the southern hemisphere is tilting toward the Sun, and the northern hemisphere away from the Sun. So the seasons are "reversed."
During which season is the sunlight more direct on the northern hemispher and why?
Summer in the North, because that is when the North pole is tilted towards the Sun.
How many hours of sunlight does the arctic receive in the summer months?
During the summer months, the Earth's northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. As a result, areas north of the Arctic Circle (i.e. north of 66.5622° latitude) will experience what is called a midnight sun during the Summer Solstice - a phenomena where the sun does not fully set (i.e. there is 24 hours of sunlight on this day).The exact number of hours of sunlight that occur on other days during the summer will depend on where you the specific location within the Arctic circle and which day you are referring to. Between the Spring (or Vernal) Equinox and the Fall Equinox - days where all locations on Earth experience an equal number of sunlight and nighttime hours - the number of hours of sunlight will vary between 12 (at the equinox) and 24 (at the Summer solstice).
Which pole is tilted in the month of June?
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.
