The first day of summer in the northern hemisphere is the day when the sun appears
farthest north among the stars, at the point known as the "Summer solstice", usually
on June 21 or 22. At that time, the sun is seen directly overhead from some point on
the Tropic of Cancer ... the parallel of 23.5 degrees north latitude.
It's never possible for the sun to be seen directly overhead anywhere in Texas. The
southernmost point in Texas, near Brownsville, is about 170 miles north of the Tropic
of Cancer.

The hemisphere where it is summer. Northern in July, Southern in Dec.
Does earth's distance from the sun affect the season's?
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)

How is the slant of the rays related to the seasons?
The slant rays relate to the seasons because the direct rays shine right on a spot and that makes summer. But as the earth tilts the rays are not as strong and not as bright so if its not a direct its slanted which gives it different seasons.!!
