Why does the southern hemisphere experience winter and summer solstice in different times than of the northern hemisphere?
As everyone knows the Earth tilts on it's axis at the angle of 66 and half degrees. On 21st December the Earth tilts on it's axis so that the sun would hit the southern hemisphere and then the southern hemisphere would have winter while the northern hemisphere would have winter. So when the sun's rays hit the northern hemisphere then the northern hemisphere would have summer while the southern hemisphere would have winter.
Why don't people talk about the southern lights?
People do talk about them. You probably live in the northern hemisphere, so the Northern Lights are more relevant there. In the southern hemisphere, people would be talking about the Southern Lights, as that is what they might be able to see. Where they are, they would not be talking about the Northern Lights.
What star is the brightest in northern hemisphere?

If the earth stopped revolving when the northern hemisphere was pointed towards the sun would you have longer nights or days?
All you would have is a day where the Northern Hemisphere was pointed at the sun. The side opposite would be in permanent night. it would have nothing to do with Hemispheres but with which side is pointed to the sun. Alternate: If by 'pointed towards' you mean at the same angle as the current tilt, then the answer would be a little different. But the answer would depend on where you are. Or are you one of the many who assume that the northern hemisphere is the only one? If you are in the northern hemisphere, you would have longer daytime periods than night. It would be opposite in the southern hemisphere.
