The Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun are responsible for the changing seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer. Conversely, when it is tilted away from the Sun, it experiences winter.
If the Earth is in a position where the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it would be the beginning of summer for the Northern Hemisphere. This occurs around June 21st each year, marking the summer solstice. During this time, the Northern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, resulting in longer days and warmer temperatures.
