Are the stars brighter in the southern hemisphere than the northern hemisphere?
For the most part there is less developed land in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere. That means that at night when you can see the stars there is less light pollution, and generally, I believe. less air pollution. Less air pollution means less tiny particles in the air. Particles tend to interfere with the passage of light, so you can't see stars that give off less light. At the same time "Light Pollution" makes the sky seem lighter providing poorer contrast and making weaker stars more difficult to see. In other words, stars are not brighter in the Southern Hemisphere, they're just easier to see.
