The correct statements are:

-The North Pole is titled away from the sun.

-The Southern Hemisphere experiences summer.

The corrected wrong statements would be:

-Direct rays of the sun strike the line of latitude called the Tropic of Capricorn.

-The days are short in the Northern Hemisphere.

The winter solstice corresponds to the instant when the position of the Sun in the sky is at the greatest negative angular distance from the celestial equator. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice event takes place between December 20 and 23 every year.
