When is the Northern Hemisphere tilted toward the sun?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the specific time of year when the Northern Hemisphere experiences its tilt toward the sun, which affects the seasons and results in warmer weather and longer daylight hours during that period.

More Information

Around June 21, the Northern Hemisphere experiences the greatest tilt toward the sun, resulting in the summer solstice.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing the dates for the winter solstice when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.
