In about 1000 years the North Star will not be the fixed point in the sky and several thousand years later summer will be in December in northern hemisphere and winter will be in July

The angle is the same at both poles. The Earth is actually closer to the sun during the southern hemisphere's summer and northern hemisphere's winter because the orbit isn't a circle, it is an ellipse. This changes over thousands of years as well.

The earth's axis does wobble, it's called axial precession. In 13,000 years the axis will be pointing in the opposite direction.

But at which solstice is the angle of the axis greater? For instance, is the northern hemisphere more tilted towards the sun in June than the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun in December? Or is the southern hemisphere more tilted towards the sun in December than the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun in June?


The Earth's axial tilt doesn't change -- it's about 23.5 degrees, and, while it changes (over long periods of time), it doesn't change appreciably over the course of the year.

The northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun for its summer solstice in June.
The Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun for its summer solstice in December.

I've tried googling this, but I can't find an answer. In short, what I want to know is which hemisphere is more tilted towards the sun at its summer solstice.
