The earth's axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees, so the Earth is never straight up and down compared to the Sun. When it is summer in North America, that is because the North Pole and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere are pointing toward the Sun.ome people have the misconception that different seasons happen because sometimes the Earth is farther from the Sun and sometimes it is closer. It makes sense -- when you are close to the Sun, it should be warm and summery, and when you are far away, it should be icy winter -- but this is not true.
