Best Answer

The Earth's axis is tilted relative to the plane of its orbit ... by 23.5 degrees. Therefore, when the north pole is pointed toward the sun the northern hemisphere is in spring/summer AND when it points away we are in fall/winter.

Earth's position relative to the Sun continually changes as it travels along its orbit. At certain times, we are closer to the sun,(Winter in the northern hemisphere) and at other times we are further away.
