The Southern Hemisphere is the southern portion or half of the Earth. It begins at the equator at 0° and continues south into higher latitudes until it reaches 90°S
The continents making up the Southern Hemisphere include all of Antarctica, around 1/3 of Africa, most of South America and nearly all of Australia.
The Southern Hemisphere, like the Northern Hemisphere is also divided into several different regions based on climate. The most prevalent is the southern temperate zone, which runs from the Tropic of Capricorn to the beginning of the Arctic Circle at 66.5°S. This area features a temperate climate which generally has large amounts of precipitation, cold winters and warm summers. Some countries included in the southern temperate zone include most of Chile, all of New Zealand and Uruguay. The area directly north of the southern temperate zone and lying between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn is known as the tropics- an area which has warm temperatures and precipitation year round
