The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
If one end the Earth's axis always pointed toward the sun, then one pole would ALWAYS be in daylight, and the other pole would NEVER see daylight. Which is which would depend on which end of the axis pointed toward the sun. The Earth's "poles" are the ends of its axis of rotation. It's not possible for either end of the axis to point toward the equator or toward my latitude.
The South Pole begins its rotation away from the sun on March 21, and on June 21, it changes course and begins its rotation toward the sun.
There is no such planet. They all move counterclockwise (when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual definition).
The Southern Hemisphere beings its turn toward the sun on June 21 and on December 21, it begins to turn away.
It spins on an axis that is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This tilt means that first one pole, then the other, is tipped toward the Sun as the planet circles the Sun. When the North Pole is inclined toward the Sun, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. When the South Pole is inclined toward the Sun, the Southern Hemisphere has summer and the northern has winter. Twice a year (spring and fall equinoxes) neither pole is tipped toward the Sun for a brief moment. On that day, day and night are about equally long (12 hours) for the entire planet. The axial tilt is about 23.5 degrees to the perpendicular to the orbital plane.

Uranus has its north pole tilted almost directly toward the sun. This unusual orientation is responsible for extreme seasons on the planet, with one pole experiencing 42 years of continuous daylight while the other is in darkness.
In North America, the season when the north pole points toward the sun is Summer.

The Northern Hemisphere experiences winter when the South Pole is pointed toward the Sun.
Your answer depends on where you are. At the South Pole when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer.

During the southern Hemisphere winter, the earth's north pole 'leans' toward the sun, while its south pole 'leans' away from the sun.
