Does the sun rise in the southern hemisphere first?

No. The Sun is always above the horizon somewhere in the Southern hemisphere just as it always is above the horizon somewhere in the Northern hemisphere. About half of each hemisphere is illuminated at every instant (well more of the Southern hemisphere is illuminated from the end of September to the end of March and more of the Northern hemisphere during the other half year).


What direction of the compass does the shadow point to at midday?

At midday, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, shadows typically point directly north in the Northern Hemisphere and directly south in the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the sun is positioned in the southern part of the sky in the Northern Hemisphere and in the northern part in the Southern Hemisphere. The exact direction can vary slightly depending on the time of year and the observer's latitude.


Does the sun move counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere?

No as it's the same for the northern hemisphere. (What does "counter clockwise" even mean in this context?)


What point does the southern hemisphere have the greatest exposure to the sun?

The point where the Southern Hemisphere has the greatest exposure to the sun is the winter solstice.


How can you tell direction from the sun?

To determine direction from the sun, observe the sun's position in the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is generally in the southern part of the sky, so facing the sun means you are facing south. In the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is generally in the northern part of the sky, so facing the sun means you are facing north.
