summer solstice and the winter solstice
neither
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.
Whatever is tilted toward the sun has summer. So the southern hemisphere will have winter.
The Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the winter solstice.

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.

The Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun.
The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun during the summer solstice is the Northern Hemisphere. This tilt causes the North Pole to be tilted towards the Sun, leading to longer days and warmer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere during this time of the year.
No, daylight hours are longer for the hemisphere that is tilted toward the sun during the solstice. This hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, leading to longer days and shorter nights.
We have no reason to expect that the points in the earth's orbit that are nearest/farthest fromthe sun (perihelion/aphelion) should be correlated with the points in the orbit where the earth'snorth pole happens to be tilted most directly toward/away from the sun (June/December solstice).The burden is on the questioner, to explain why the June solstice should be on the day when theearth is at the furthest distance from the sun.
That is the summer solstice. (sole-stuss)
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.
The sun reaches its farthest north point in the sky during the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st in the northern hemisphere. This is when the North Pole is tilted closest to the sun, causing the sun to appear at its highest point in the sky.
