Well gee, it's kind of difficult to describe positions of Earth in its orbit.
The only way I know to describe it during northern-hemisphere Summer
would be to say that it's the position where a line from the sun to the Earth
points in the general direction of Orion.

What is a tilted position?
When the Earth tilts towards the Sun, during the northern hemisphere tilt towards summer, the northern hemisphere enjoys warm weather, while the southern hemisphere enters their winter period. Therefore, the tilted position (of the earth) depends on where the tilt is observed, and in which season.
Why the seasons in the northern hemisphere different from the Southern Hemisphere?
This is caused by the difference in position of the earth's tilt to the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilting towards the sun (summer), the Southern Hemisphere is tilting away from it (winter) and vice-versa.

Why is the season in the northern hemisphere different from southern hemisphere?
This is caused by the difference in position of the earth's tilt to the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilting towards the sun (summer), the southern hemisphere is tilting away from it (winter) and vice-versa.
