The northern and southern hemispheres get exactly equal hours of sunlight.
In the course of a year, it amounts to exactly 50% of the year everywhere.
It's just that the long days, long nights, short days, and short nights happen
at different times in the two hemispheres. But it all evens out over a year.

Will the northern hemisphere have daylight?
The northern hemisphere will have daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the hemisphere receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This results in longer daylight hours during summer and shorter daylight hours during winter in the northern hemisphere.

Why does the northern hemisphere receive more sunlight than the southern hemisphere?
Whichever hemisphere (the Northern or Southern Hemisphere) is tilted toward the sun receives more direct rays of sunlight (or rays that are closer to perpendicular or a 90° angle). The hemisphere tilted toward the sun also has more hours of daylight than the hemisphere that is tilted away from the sun
How the angle the sunlight reaches the earth impacts the number of hours of sunlight and the length of the day?
During the summer, the sun is striking the Northern Hemisphere straight on, therefore providing strong sunlight and longer daylight hours. The opposite is true during the winter; the Northern Hemisphere is turned away from the sun during this time, hence receiving weak sunlight and shorter daylight hours.
What hemisphere was the moon in last night?

What months does the Arctic Circle experience daylight?
July has the longest hours of sunlight because in July it has the longest dayAnswerThe above is OK for someone in the northern hemisphere, but for the majority of those in the southern hemisphere, January is the month with most sunshine. In many tropical areas, the wet season means that cloud cover reduces the sunlight hours and so the most sun would be in the dry season. This may be the opposite of the other areas in the same hemisphere. An example is in Australia, where most of the southern parts of the country have highest sunlight in mid-summer or January, but the tropical city of Darwin in the north has it's sunniest month in July - even though still in the southern hemisphere. The right answer is:Dec 21st for the South Pole and southern Hemisphere and June 21st for the North Pole and Northern Hemisphere
