When the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun is it summer in both hemispheres?

No, that would be impossible, because the Earth is basically an orb -- round.
When the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere -- and Winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

What happens during midwinter when the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun?
When it is winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. The North Pole is tilted away from the Sun in December. (That means that the Northern Hemisphere is also tilted away from the Sun in December.)
Seasons in the two hemispheres are opposite Explain how this supports the statement that seasons are not caused by Earth's changing distance from the Sun?
The axis of the Earth is tilted which gives us seasons. Only one of the hemispheres, north or south, can be tilted toward the Sun, while the other is tilted away. If the northern hemisphere is tipped toward the sun, then it is warmer and the days are longer, which gives us summer. But the days are shorter and it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. If the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it is colder and that gives us winter. But in the southern hemisphere it is then summer. In Australia or South America, you can have Christmas dinner on the beach if you want.
Why is it summer in the southern hemisphere when it is winter in the northen hemisphere?
Summer is when the sun is most direct over a hemisphere. It alternates between hemispheres because the earth's axis (the line between the earth's north and south poles about which the earth spins) is tilted (not perfectly perpendicular) relative to the earth-sun plane, and as the earth revolves (or orbits) around the Sun, the tilt presents cycling points toward the sun.
What would happen if the south end of earth's axis was tilted toward the sun?
It is - every winter (in the north).
What causes summer to be warmer than winter?
The Earth leans into the sun, sunlight hits at more direct angle and is more effective at heating to Earth's surface. Sun appears high in sky and rays hit more directly, spreading out less light rays.
When it is summer at the South Pole what happens?
the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres are tilted toward the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
When the South Pole is tilted toward the sun what season does the US and Canada start?
Your answer depends on where you are. At the South Pole when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer.
When the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun what season is it in Florida?
Summer in the southern hemisphere -- when the South Pole is tilted toward the the Sun, it's winter in the northern hemisphere -- including the state of Florida.
The south end of earth's axis is tilted toward the sun in?
Southern Hemisphere's summer season.
Which pole is tilted in the month of June?
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.
When the south pole is tilted toward the sun for a few months what season is it?
Summer in the southern hemisphere, winter in the northern.
When the north end of earths axis is tilted toward the sun what season is it in the southern hemishphere?
At its full extent, the South Pole is tilted about 23.5 degrees toward or away from the Sun.
Why does the Southern Hemisphere have different seasons?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, so when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun (Summer, in the North) the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun (Winter, in the South) and vice versa.
Why do Seasonal change?
Seasons change because the Earth revolves around the sun in a period of one year; you have the southern hemisphereand the northen hemisphere of the Earth. Earth is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun. So when our North Pole is tilted toward the sun, we get summer in the Northern Hemisphere (winter in the south). When the South Pole is tilted toward the sun, we get winter. So if a planet is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun, it should have seasons
When its summer in the northern hemisphere what is in the southern hemisphere why?
WinterWhen the north end of the earths axis is tilted toward the sun, the northern hemisphere has summer. At the same time, the south end of earths axis is tilted away from the sun. As a result the southerns hemisphere has winter.
Which pole is tilted toward the sun when it's winter in the southern hemisphere?
When it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere it's summer in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the North geographic pole is tilted towards the sun and the South geographic pole is tilted away from the sun.
What happens during midwinter when the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun?
When it is winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. The North Pole is tilted away from the Sun in December. (That means that the Northern Hemisphere is also tilted away from the Sun in December.)
