The Sun moves from the Southern Hemisphere to the northern hemisphere around March 20 (or March 21 during leap years) of each year. On this day

the sun crosses the true celestial equator - or the line in the sky above the earth's equator - from south to north. It is called Spring Equinox and on this date the day and night are nearly equal 12 hours each all over the world and the earth's axis of rotation is perpendicular to the line connecting the centers the sun crosses the true celestial equator - or the line in the sky above the earth's equator - from south to north of the earth and the sun.

Is the winter solstice tilted toward the sun?

At both the winter and summer solstices, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. What differs is which hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. In the northern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the northern hemisphere it tilted away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the southern hemisphere it tilted towards the sun. When it is the winter solstice in one hemisphere, it is the summer solstice is in the other hemisphere. For a winter solstice, that particular hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.
