The hemisphere where it is summer. Northern in July, Southern in Dec.
No it does not. Earth's seasons are affected by Earth's tilt. The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees so seasons are created by the sun's direct rays hitting different parts of the earth. Summer in the northern hemisphere starts when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of cancer. winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of capricorn. fall and spring begin when the sun's direct rays are at the equator. (By the way, summer in the norther hemisphere occurs when the earth is farthest from the sun)
Tropic of Capricorn
The northern hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January.
When the northern hemisphere is in winter, the southern hemisphere is in summer.
More direct rays and longer days (summer).

When the North Pole tilts away from the sun, the most direct rays strike the Southern Hemisphere, closer to the Tropic of Capricorn. This results in winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
Tropic of Capricorn
When the Sun's rays are more direct (closer to perpendicular to the surface of the ground at midday) it is hotter (some would call it "summer") When furthest from direct it is colder ("winter") between winter and summer there is spring and between summer and winter there is fall.
No, during summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun's rays are more direct because the Earth is tilted towards the sun. This results in longer daylight hours and higher sun angles, leading to warmer temperatures.
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.
The northern hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January.

In December, the Southern Hemisphere gets slanting rays of the sun, as it is summer in that part of the world during this time. The Tropic of Capricorn receives direct sunlight, causing the rays to hit the Earth at a more oblique angle, resulting in slanting rays.
The season with the highest angle of insolation is summer. This is due to the Earth's tilt on its axis, which causes the Sun's rays to be more direct during summer months in each hemisphere.
The earth tilts on its axis. The sun lights, direct rays move 23 degrees North during April, May and June. This results in the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
