Same direction as in any other month. The Earth's axis maintains its direction in space. Actually, over thousands of years it gradually changes; this is called precession.

Which way is north at the north pole?

If you are at the North pole, the north pole of the magnetic needle in the compass will tilt a little, downwards, and the south pole of the compass needle will tilt upwards. If you hold the compass in a direction vertically perpendicular to the surface of the earth, the needle will align itself like the earth's magnetic field, as if it were a huge bar magnet, the north part of the needle facing upwards.


What degree each planet axis tilt?

Everyone seems to know the axis of the Earth is tilted, but not that it is tilted relative to the Ecliptic which is the second vital piece of information. The third piece of vital information is that spinning of the Earth has a gyroscopic effect which ensures that the direction of the tilt relative to the ecliptic, does not change through-out the year. Or ever! If it leans to the "left" in Summer it is still leaning to the left in Winter. The True North Pole is ~for-ever pointing at the same Polar Star and does not trace out a great circle in space throughout the year. If it did, one hemisphere would be for-ever Winter and the other, for-ever Summer.


Which planets axis tilt is similar to earths?

Mars has a very similar angle of axial tilt to Earth.


What would a compess point to if you were at the north pole?

If you are at the North pole, the north point of the magnetic needle in the compass will tilt a little downwards, and the south pole of the compass needle will tilt upwards. If you hold the compass in a direction vertically perpendicular to the surface of the Earth, the needle will align itself like the earth's magnetic field, as if it were a huge bar magnet, the north part of the needle facing upwards.


When the North Pole points in the direction of the sun Is this occurs during winter in Northern Hemisphere?

No, when the North Pole points in the direction of the sun it is the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. This is because during this time the Northern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, leading to warmer weather and longer days.

How does the tilt of earths affect the season?

The tilt of earth's axis with respect to the ecliptic plane is the cause of the seasons.At any given time, the hemisphere adjacent to the pole tilted toward the sun is the one that experiences spring and summer, whereas the one adjacent to the pole tilted away from the sun is the hemisphere experiencing autumn and winter.
