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.
The Arctic region, anywhere north of the Arctic Circle (approx. latitude 66° 34' N), has the greatest number of daylight hours when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The Antarctic (including almost all of Antarctica), south of the Antarctic Circle (approx. latitude 66° 34' S), has the greatest number of daylight hours when it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
Canada aye
Probably because the southern hemisphere has more water than the northern hemisphere. It takes more heat to raise a given mass of water a certain number of degrees than to raise the same mass of any other substance the same number of degrees.
The sun does not set at all north of the Arctic Circle on the day of the June solstice.
Increases from 12 hours at the equator to 24 hours at the Artic Circle.
June, same as the rest of the northern hemisphere
winter solstice
yes
That will depend on where exactly you are in the northern hemisphere. Close to the equator it will be about 12 hours, while at the North Pole it will be 24 hours. So it is anything from 12 to 24 hours, depending on your specific location.
March 20 and September 23 are the two equinox days when there are 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness at any place on the Earth.

They have the same number of letters
The Sun reaches an EQUINOX when it is directly above Earth's equator and the number of daylight hours equals the number of nighttime hours all over the world. At this time, neither the northern or the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
Probably because the southern hemisphere has more water than the northern hemisphere. It takes more heat to raise a given mass of water a certain number of degrees than to raise the same mass of any other substance the same number of degrees.
