2It is summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

3The North Pole is tilted away from the sun.

4It is winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Answer 1

These two statements are true:

3 The North Pole is tilted away from the sun. - When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, the South Pole is tilted toward the sun, and North Pole is tilted away from the sun. The South Pole has a 24 hour day, while the North Pole has a 24 hour night.

4It is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. - When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and viceversa. This is why Christmas in Canada is in winter, while Christmas in Australia is in summer.
