Does the southern hemisphere have more land than the eastern hemisphere?

You can't really compare the southern hemisphere with the eastern hemisphere since the two overlap. You can compare north and south, or you can compare east and west, since those are non-overlapping comparisons. The southern hemisphere has less land than the northern. The eastern has more land than the western.

How does the sunlight you receive in the northern hemisphere compare to the amount in the southern hemisphere?

The northern hemisphere receives approximately 3% more sunlight than the southern hemisphere. It will continue receiving more for several thousand years then the situation will reverse. in addition to orbiting the sun, the earth has 3 other motions around the sun. They all converged about 10,000 years ago and melted the glaciers in the northern hemisphere.They occur at different rates. Around 200,000 A.D. they will converge in the southern hemisphere and send the northern hemisphere into another ice age.


Compare and contrast northern and southern hemisphere?

A big difference/similarity is seasons. The northern and southern hemisphere have opposite solstices, but their equinoxes are the same. So when the northern half is having summer, the southern half is having winter. But the North's fall is the South's spring, so they both have equal days and nights. A difference is population/pollution. Approximately 90% of the population resides within the northern hemisphere. Along with most of the population is most of the pollution too. Another difference is moon phases. The northern hemisphere has moon phases change from right to left. Waxing moons gain illumination from right to left, and waning moons lose illumintation from right to left. But in the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true. The moon changes from left to right. These are the main similarities and differences i can think of. Hope they help!
