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.


Why does winter in Africa summer in America?

America is Northern hemisphere, Africa is Southern. The Earth is tilted at its axis. When the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun they get summer. The Southern, which is simultaneously tilted away, gets winter. Then they change. South tilts towards, and get summer, North tilts away and get winter.
