Viewed from any place more than about 20 degrees north of the equator,
Ursa Minor never sets, and is visible at any moment of any clear night.
20 degrees north is roughly the line through Mecca, Oman, central India,
central Myanmar, Hanoi, Honolulu, Guadalajara, Cancun, and the south coast
of Cuba. If you live north of that line, you can see Ursa Minor at any time.
No part of Ursa Minor is ever visible from any place south of roughly 20 degrees
south latitude.
Between those two latitudes ... from 20° south to 20° north ... some part of
Ursa Minor is visible at some time during every night of the year. How much
of it depends on your latitude, and at what time depends on what night of
the year.

What is the hemisphere nearest the south pole?

See even though they happen at the same time they have completely different climates - the seasons are just reversed.
Why can we only see the constellations in the north of the celestial sphere?
This is true if you live in the northern hemisphere. You can't see the southern stars because the bulk of the Earth is in the way. Different constellations are visible in each hemisphere, a constellation in the northern sky can be difficult or impossible to see from the southern hemisphere of the Earth, and vice versa. The reason is that the axis of the Earth's rotation is fairly constant. In its annual journey around the Sun it generally points in the same direction; people in the northern hemisphere will generally see the same constellations year round, and the same in the southern hemisphere. Those living near the equator see some of both. The tilt of the Earth's axis also makes some constellations somewhat seasonal, because of a slight change of the viewer's angle to the night sky.
