No, the magnetic needle in a northern hemisphere compass is attracted to the Earth's magnetic North Pole, while in a Southern Hemisphere compass, it is attracted to the South Pole. This means that compasses designed for each hemisphere will have their markings and adjustments oriented accordingly.

How would a southern hemisphere compass differ from a northern hemisphere compass?
The Southern Hemisphere compass will naturally align it self with the South Poleanswer 2 A compass designed to work in the southern hemisphere will have the needle/card balanced differently, for in the S hemisphere the S pole will cause the compass to dip slightly - and opposite to the northern hemisphere.The compass manufacturers divide the Earth into five zones for balance. Some folk need a compass that is insensitive to this effect, (e.g. Army) and for this they choose to have the needle a smaller part of the weight balanced on the pivot, and have a liquid filled compass.Regarding the first sentence above, the compass needle actually aligns itself with the lines of magnetic force at your location - which will still result in a N - S alignment.
Do you agree that if it is summer in the northern hemisphere it is also summer in the southern hemisphere?
No, it is not necessarily summer in both hemispheres at the same time. Seasons are opposite in the northern and southern hemispheres, so if it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere.
When it is spring in the northern hemisphere what season is it in the southern hemisphere?
When it is spring in the northern hemisphere, it is fall (autumn) in the southern hemisphere. This is because the Earth's tilt causes the two hemispheres to experience opposite seasons at the same time.
What are the temperature ranges in the southern hemisphere?
The temperature ranges in the southern hemisphere vary depending on the location and season. In general, temperatures can range from below freezing in areas like Antarctica to hot and humid in tropical regions like northern Australia. Overall, temperatures in the southern hemisphere tend to be cooler than the northern hemisphere due to its higher proportion of ocean.
Why are satellite dishes in the Northern Hemisphere pointed south and in the Southern Hemisphere there pointed north?
Satellite dishes in the Northern Hemisphere are pointed south to align with geostationary satellites above the equator, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they are pointed north for the same reason. This alignment ensures optimal reception and transmission of satellite signals.
Does the northen or southern hamisphere have more land?
The Northern Hemisphere has more land, and less water, then the southern hemisphere.The size of the earth remains the same, but the northern hemisphere has more surface land
How many days in Spring in the Southern hemisphere?
same as in the northen hemisphere The average time from the September equinox to the December solstice is about 89 days and 20½ hours.
Is New Zealand southern hemisphere?
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.
Which month has the least day light?
December typically has the least amount of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere due to the winter solstice occurring around December 21st. In the Southern Hemisphere, June usually has the shortest days for the same reason.

Is it winter in southern hemisphere when it is winter in the southern hemisphere?
Yes, because it is the same place!
Why are there tornadoes in the southern hemisphere?
Tornadoes form in the southern hemisphere for the same reason they form in the northern hemisphere. The mechanics are the same. See the related question for what causes tornadoes

What causes the beginning of summer and winter in the northern hemisphere?

Is the calendar the same in the Northern Hemisphere as it is in the Southern Hemisphere?
The calendar is the same though the seasons differ.
Are the seasons the same in the north hemisphere as the south hemisphere?
Seasons in the northern hemisphere occur at opposite times to those in the southern hemisphere. For example, when it is winter in the southern hemisphere, it is summer in the northern hemisphere.
