i think it is the northern hemisphere because if you look at a picture of the earth on its tilt it looks like the southern hemishpere is closer to the sun.
This is caused by the difference in position of the earth's tilt to the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilting towards the sun (summer), the southern hemisphere is tilting away from it (winter) and vice-versa.
The difference betweeen the northern and southern hemispheres is that the both hemispheres have opposite seasons. For example: In January the northern hemisphere is winter is is tilted away from the sun and it gets alot of less direct sunlight and in the southern hemisphere it's summer and it is tilted toward the sun.
It depends on which half is facing the sun.
The word sun starts with 'S', and southern starts with 'S' as well. This means that southern is sunny, 'S' and 'S'. The northern hemisphere is cooler because the north pole has an 'N' and northern hemisphere does too.
The northern hemisphere receives approximately 3% more sunlight than the southern hemisphere. It will continue receiving more for several thousand years then the situation will reverse. in addition to orbiting the sun, the earth has 3 other motions around the sun. They all converged about 10,000 years ago and melted the glaciers in the northern hemisphere.They occur at different rates. Around 200,000 A.D. they will converge in the southern hemisphere and send the northern hemisphere into another ice age.
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.

Because during that season, the northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. This is caused by the earth's axis tilt.
No, the earth is further away from the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere, and closer in the winter, but because of the earth's axial tilt it receives the sun's rays more directly in summer.
When the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun it is summer there and winter in the northern hemisphere. The Earth's axis is on a tilt relative to the Sun. This means that during the year as it follows its regular orbit around the Sun, for a period one hemisphere is closer to the Sun than the other. This is what creates the seasons we have on Earth. When one hemisphere is closer to the Sun more heat is felt there. This is known as "summer". This is similar to how holding your hand closer to a flame will make your hand feel warmer. Clearly, at the time one hemisphere is closer to our Sun, the other hemisphere is further away, meaning it is in "winter". When the two hemispheres are equidistant from the Sun then it is spring in one and autumn (fall - if you're American) in the other.
In summer, the N. Hemisphere is oriented toward the Sun, while the S. Hemisphere is oriented away. In the winter, the opposite is true. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun in the N. Hemisphere Winter than in the Summer.
