During summer in North America, the days are longer due to the position of Earth on its orbit and the tilt of the planet's axis. This results in more daylight hours and shorter nights, leading to warmer temperatures and the peak of the summer season.
It would be mid winter in the US as well.
When the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, North America will experience summer. This means longer days, higher temperatures, and more direct sunlight.
The seasons are opposite in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the tilt of Earth's axis. When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it is summer there, while the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, making it winter in countries like Australia.
Due to the sun being further away in winter and closer in the summer
On June 21st, the Earth's North Pole tilts towards the Sun, resulting in the Northern Hemisphere experiencing the summer solstice when it receives the most daylight of the year.
