When Earth is in the position shown in the drawing below what season is it in the North hemisphere?

It is winter in the northern hemisphere when the southern hemisphere tilts toward the sun. Interestingly enough, the Earth is closer to the Sun at that time!
The (slight - 0.0167 ) eccentricity of the Earths orbit puts this planet at aphelion (furthest from the Sun) in the beginning of July and perihelion (closest to the Sun) in the beginning of January.
This is one of the many factors that makes the Southern hemisphere seasons more extreme than those of the northern hemisphere.

Gently I stir a white feather fan,
With open shirt sitting in a green wood.
I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone;
A wind from the pine-trees trickles on my bare head.

The summer occurs when the Earth tilts toward the Sun! The temps increase with sunlight.

in your question, so it could be any season.

Earth is closest to the sun during which season in the northern hemisphere?
Winter. The Earth reaches its perihelion (the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun) during the month of January (around January 3rd currently), which falls during the season of winter in the northern hemisphere.
How do the tilt of the earth's axis and earth's movement around the sun cause seasons?
If the earth moves to point a in the image above what season will the northern hemisphere experience
The suns rays strike earth at their northernmost and southernmost positions during?
The sun's rays strike the earth at 90 degrees (verticle) at their northernmost position during the summer solstice for northern hemisphere and at their southernmost position during the summer solstice for the southern hemisphere. These positions are known as the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere.
Describe the position of the earth in relation to the sun during winter in the Northern Hemisphere?
Winter is colder than Summer because the angle of the earth toward the Sun. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun during the northern Hemisphere winter but the hemisphere is angled way and gets less direct light.
What season is it when the earths northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun?
If the northern axis or North Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. If your talking about the angle of the planet when the Northern Hemisphere is receiving direct rays, its summer. If you are asking what the Northern Hemisphere season it is when planet Earth is closest to the Sun, it's winter.
What is a tilted position?
When the Earth tilts towards the Sun, during the northern hemisphere tilt towards summer, the northern hemisphere enjoys warm weather, while the southern hemisphere enters their winter period. Therefore, the tilted position (of the earth) depends on where the tilt is observed, and in which season.
What is the season in southern hemisphere of earth of earth when it is summer in northern hemisphere?
Winter-
Why is the season in the northern hemisphere different from southern hemisphere?
This is caused by the difference in position of the earth's tilt to the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilting towards the sun (summer), the southern hemisphere is tilting away from it (winter) and vice-versa.
What season is earth's southern hemisphere?
it is spring
What hemisphere of the earth experience opposite season?
The Northern and Southern Hemisphere
What would the season be if the sun id facing the earth?
The sun is always 'facing' the earth. If the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the season is summer, in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.
In which position would it be summer in the northern hemisphere?
Summer
Earth orbiting the sun what season would be in the southern hemisphere?
All four seasons happen in the southern hemisphere, as Earth orbits the sun.
When the northern hemisphere of earth is tilted away from the sun the season will be?
It would be winter.
What season is it when the Western and Northern Hemisphere of earth it tilted away from the sun?
winter
In the northern hemisphere which season does the earth reach its greatest distance from the sun?
In the summer
When Earth is closer to the Sun during the year what season is it?
It is spring-summer in the southern hemisphere, and autumn-winter in the northern hemisphere.
