when the south pole is pointed toward the sun, the northern hemisphere experiences winter, and the south hemisphere experiences summer. when the north pole is pointed toward the sun, the north hemisphere experiences summer, and the south experiences winter.
The earth's axis is tilted slightly: 23.5 degrees off-center. As it revolves around the sun, this offset causes what we know as seasons. If the earth's axis were straight up-and-down, the temperature would be the same at opposite latitudes.
When the earth's south axis is pointed towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer - even though midsummer for them is December!
The north pole of the Earth never points at the Sun; at best, it is pointed 66 degrees away from the Sun. But when it gets to that point, we have the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere.
More direct rays and longer days (summer).
More than 12 hours out of each 24. Its population
will call that part of the year "Spring" and "Summer".

The side of the Earth that is tilted towards the sun will experience summer.
Whatever direction you can possibly think of, the earth's axis is tilted by 23.5 degreesin that exact direction once every year.
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.
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.
If the north part of the earth's axis it tilted toward the sun, North America should have warm weather caused by longer days.

The seasons are caused by the fact that the Earth's axis is tilted. As the Earth travels around the sun, the hemisphere that is tilted toward the sun changes. Whenever your hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, it is summer in your hemisphere.
Summer!

Away.
It is summer because that part of the earth is tilted towards the sun and it gets more heat.
