When it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere it's summer in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the North geographic pole is tilted towards the sun and the South geographic pole is tilted away from the sun.

Well, the seasons in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere are opposite. Spring and Fall are opposites, and Summer and Winter are opposites. So that means that in the Winter of the northern hemisphere is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.(It is warm year round near the equator so the seasons don't matter most in those areas).

At this time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, so it receives more sunlight than the Northern Hemisphere.

The position of the northern hemisphere does not change. It is still the northern hemisphere.

Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun . What season takes place in the Southern Hemisphere at this time?

Whatever is tilted toward the sun has summer. So the southern hemisphere will have winter.


If you lived in the southern hemisphere how would seasons be diffrent and why?

It does not. Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth on its axis. When that hemisphere is tilted toward the sun there will be summer. Away-- winter.


What season is it when the North Pole is tilted almost directly toward the sun on June 21?

In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.


What would the season be if the sun id facing the earth?

The sun is always 'facing' the earth. If the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the season is summer, in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.


What is the season in the northern hemisphere when the Earth's axis is tilted away from the Sun?

When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun it is summer there and winter in the northern hemisphere. The Earth's axis is on a tilt relative to the Sun. This means that during the year as it follows its regular orbit around the Sun, for a period one hemisphere is closer to the Sun than the other. This is what creates the seasons we have on Earth. When one hemisphere is closer to the Sun more heat is felt there. This is known as "summer". This is similar to how holding your hand closer to a flame will make your hand feel warmer. Clearly, at the time one hemisphere is closer to our Sun, the other hemisphere is further away, meaning it is in "winter". When the two hemispheres are equidistant from the Sun then it is spring in one and autumn (fall - if you're American) in the other.

Is the winter solstice tilted toward the sun?

At both the winter and summer solstices, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. What differs is which hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. In the northern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the northern hemisphere it tilted away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the southern hemisphere it tilted towards the sun. When it is the winter solstice in one hemisphere, it is the summer solstice is in the other hemisphere. For a winter solstice, that particular hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.

Is the US tilted more toward the sun during the winter?

No. The Northern Hemisphere (which the United States is in) axial tilt is the farthest from our Sun, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. During that same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, and it is summer time in the Southern Hemisphere.


Why do the northern latitudes have winter from October to March?

It is at that time, when the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, that the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.


Which pole is tilted toward the sun when it's winter in the southern hemisphere?

When it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere it's summer in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the North geographic pole is tilted towards the sun and the South geographic pole is tilted away from the sun.


Why does the Southern Hemisphere have different seasons?

Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, so when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun (Summer, in the North) the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun (Winter, in the South) and vice versa.


Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere but winter in the southern hemisphere?

Because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the northern hemisphere it is summer because the Earth is tilted toward the sun while the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun making it winter; and vica versa.


When the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun what season is it in Florida?

Summer in the southern hemisphere -- when the South Pole is tilted toward the the Sun, it's winter in the northern hemisphere -- including the state of Florida.


What is the hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the winter solstice?

Assuming the observer is in the North, then the southern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun during the Winter Solstice in December. However, for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice would occur in June, and the northern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun.
