it is winter in the north and summer in the south.
It's all about the tilt of earth's axis. In January, earth's tilt brings the Southern Hemisphere to an angle where it gets more direct rays from the sun; the sun rises to its highest elevations in the southern sky. It doesn't have much to do with distance from the sun. In fact, during the cold season in the northern hemisphere, the earth is a little closer to the sun than it is during the north's warm season.

No. Antarctica is the southern-most continent on earth. Parts of northern Canada are the northern-most land forms on earth.
Canada is in the Northern Hemisphere (northern half of the Earth), and Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere (southern). The seasons are opposite in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere due to the way the Earth is tilted as it orbits around the Sun.

The equator divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres. The prime meridian divides earth into the eastern and western hemispheres.
It is the Equator (zero Latitude) that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

The equator divides the earth into northern and southern hemispheres.

The Equator divides the earth into northern and southern latitudes.
The equator separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
the hemisphere divides the earth into four different chunks
There are two hemispheres on Earth: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, divided by the equator. Each hemisphere experiences different seasons based on the tilt of the Earth's axis in relation to the Sun.
The Equator divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Everything north of the Equator is in the northern hemisphere, while everything south of it is in the southern hemisphere.
