The northern and southern Hemispheres each consist of a range of 90 degrees
of latitude. They meet at the equator ... it's the boundary between them. There's
no gap between them at the equator, so if you wanted to, you could go to the
equator and stand with one foot in each hemisphere. Each hemisphere is shaped
like ... like ... like a hemisphere. That's like half of a grapefruit. Their edges fit together
to make a complete sphere, and the distance between them at their edges, as well
as the angle between them, is zero.

Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere when it is winter in the southern hemisphere?
The earth is on an angle of 23.5 degrees. So one end of the planet is closer to the sun then the other. During the northern hemisphere's summer its is closest to the sun and the southern hemisphere is furthest from the sun.
Why does the southern hemisphere experience winter and summer solstice in different times than of the northern hemisphere?
As everyone knows the Earth tilts on it's axis at the angle of 66 and half degrees. On 21st December the Earth tilts on it's axis so that the sun would hit the southern hemisphere and then the southern hemisphere would have winter while the northern hemisphere would have winter. So when the sun's rays hit the northern hemisphere then the northern hemisphere would have summer while the southern hemisphere would have winter.
Why autumn and spring seasons occur in opposite hemispheres alternately?
Because - the Earth is tilted on its axis - by about 11 degrees. This means that, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away. This - combined with the position of the sun in its orbit around the Sun - creates our seasons.

What is the differences in degrees between a southern hemisphere and a northern hemisphere compass?
There is a 180-degree difference between a compass in the southern hemisphere and one in the northern hemisphere. This is due to the magnetic field lines of the Earth, which determine the orientation of the compass needle based on the geographic location.
