no
When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.
because the earth orbits in the same pattern.
The Earth's energy balance is crucial for maintaining its average temperature because it regulates the flow of energy from the Sun and the energy that is radiated back into space. When incoming solar energy is equal to the outgoing thermal energy, the Earth's temperature remains stable. Disruptions in this balance, caused by factors like greenhouse gas emissions, can lead to changes in temperature, resulting in climate change and its associated impacts. Maintaining a stable energy balance is essential for sustaining life and ecosystems on Earth.
No, Groundwater makes up about twenty percent of the world's fresh water supply, which is roughly equal to the total amount of freshwater stored in the snow and ice pack, including the north and south poles.
An equal amount of oceanic crust is being subducted at the convergent plate boundaries as is being created at the mid-oceanic ridge.
No. At an equinox, which happens in March and September, the amount of daylight and darkness are about equal.

The sun emits different amounts of energy all the time, however the hemispheres receive equal amounts of SUNLIGHT on the Equinoxes (approx. September 21 and March 21).

Earth's hemispheres receive approximately the same amount of energy from the sun during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20th and September 22nd each year. At these times, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the sun's rays to strike the Earth more directly at the equator, resulting in equal daylight and darkness across the globe.
When the amount of energy received from the sun and the amount of energy returned to space are about equal, it is called energy balance or radiative equilibrium. This balance helps maintain the Earth's overall temperature and climate.
