The Southern Hemisphere is south of the Equator, and the Northern Hemisphere is north of the Equator. The Equator is the zero (0) line of latitude.
The southern hemisphere experiences opposite seasons from the northern hemisphere. For example, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere, it is summer in the southern hemisphere. So, the current season in the southern hemisphere depends on the time of year.
The Southern hemisphere has more water than the Northern hemisphere.
This happens because of the tilt of Earth's axis. During the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, that part of the Earth is tilted towards the Sun, receiving more direct sunlight and causing warmer temperatures. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, experiencing winter with fewer daylight hours and cooler temperatures.
The southern hemisphere is currently experiencing summer.
The Earth's rotation affects all winds, prevailing or otherwise. In the northern hemisphere the Earth's rotation cause wind to curve to the right. It curves winds to the left in the southern hemisphere.

The northern hemisphere has much more land than the southern hemisphere.
To the north of the equator is the northern hemisphere, and to the south is the southern hemisphere.
Because Earths axis is tilted.
A compass will point the same whether it is in the northern or southern hemisphere. The needle on a compass is designed to magnetically line up with the earths poles. Therefore the north end of the needle of the compass will point to earths north, and the south end of the compass needle will point towards earths south whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere.
It is like this because the Earths axis is tilted which effects the seasons in the hemispheres.
that's thanks to the 23 degrees tild of the earths axis
The Earth is divided into two hemispheres: Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The equator serves as the dividing line between the two, with the Northern Hemisphere located above the equator and the Southern Hemisphere located below it.
The imaginary great line of 0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
hjj
by what ever end is in summertime right now. That is how you will know which hemisphere is pointing toward the sun.
