Answer 1

The statement that accurately describes Earth's position and orientation during summer in the northern hemisphere is: **The north end of Earth’s rotational axis leans toward the Sun.**

During the summer months, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, which results in longer days and more direct sunlight, leading to warmer temperatures. The other options do not accurately describe this aspect of Earth's orientation during northern hemisphere summer.
