Which hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere?

The southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. This is because Earth's axis is tilted, causing the opposite hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight during winter in the northern hemisphere.


If the earth stopped revolving when the northern hemisphere was pointed towards the sun would you have longer nights or days?

All you would have is a day where the Northern Hemisphere was pointed at the sun. The side opposite would be in permanent night. it would have nothing to do with Hemispheres but with which side is pointed to the sun. Alternate: If by 'pointed towards' you mean at the same angle as the current tilt, then the answer would be a little different. But the answer would depend on where you are. Or are you one of the many who assume that the northern hemisphere is the only one? If you are in the northern hemisphere, you would have longer daytime periods than night. It would be opposite in the southern hemisphere.
