The Northern Hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun during its summer solstice, when the Southern Hemisphere is pointed away during the winter solstice.
It depends on which hemisphere you live in. North of the equator, it is the northern hemisphere that is tilted towards the sun in the summer, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures, while at the same time the southern hemisphere gets less sunlight resulting in shorter days and cooler weather. When the Earth tilts the other way, the opposite occurs and it is the north's turn to experience winter while the south enjoys summer.
No, when the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the seasons to be opposite in the two hemispheres.
Summer occurs on the hemisphere of earth that is tilted towards the sun.
During the middle of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun. Because of this, the Sun shines upon a greater length of each line of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere, causing longer days and shorter nights. Above the Arctic Circle there will be 24 hours of sunlight and no nighttime at all. The reverse will be happening in the Southern hemisphere at this time.
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
In the northern hemisphere's summer solstice, around the 21st of June, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. In the southern hemisphere's summer solstice, around the 21st of December, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun.
During the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is tilted away from the sun; during the summer solstice, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is tilted towards 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.
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 Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the winter solstice.
The northern hemisphere in the summer solstice is tilted the farthest towards the sun! :)

The Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun.

Mid summer in the northern hemisphere. Max at around June 23rd.
At the point where it's tilt is directly away from the sun, it would be the winter solstice for the northern hemisphere and the summer solstice for the southern hemisphere. This is around December 21st.
