Because Earths axis isn't in alignment with the sun's axis. Rather it is tilted, so during part of the earths orbit around the sun, the northern hemisphere receives sunlight that is more nearly perpendicular to the earths surface. Then when Earth is on the exact opposite side of the sun the opposite applies. Earths rotation around the sun is completely independent of its daily rotation, so its North to South axis remains in a completely fixed position during its entire rotational cycle. (There is a significant wobble, but it has a period of 26,000 years).
The northern hemisphere has much more land than the southern hemisphere.
The earths rotational axis is tilted approx. 23 degrees from vertical The earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout its rotation around the sun, high summer (longest day) in the northern hemisphere, is when the top of the axis is at full tilt toward the sun. (shortest day in the 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.
The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.
northern hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and earths rotation
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right

To the north of the equator is the northern hemisphere, and to the south is the southern hemisphere.
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.

Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
Winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
the earths sourthern hemisphere tilts to the sun
There is no such thing as half of the Earth. If you are referring to half of the spherical shape of the Earth then it will be a hemisphere.
