Because the Northern hemisphere has alot more land mass than the Southern Hemisphere.
That is true. The orbit of the Earth around the sun is ellipitical, and the Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4th. This is slightly ironic, since that is when the northern hemisphere has the warmest weather. But the axial tilt has a greater effect than the variation in distance from the sun (which is only a minor variation).
No, the northern hemisphere summer is hotter when you look at the planetary average. The reason is that there is more land in the northern hemisphere and when the sunlight hits the land it bounces off and heats up the air much more than when sunlight hits water. So whichever side with more land will have a hotter average summer, in the earth's case, by about 4 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, the amount of water in your local environment has a much greater influence on the heat of your summer than which hemisphere you're in. For more detail, check out NASA's explanation below.
India is in the Northern Hemisphere. Australia is in the Southern hemisphere. The Earth's axis has a 23.5 degree tilt. So on December 21st, the Southern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun, while the Northern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun on June 22nd.

because it is near the cost
The Southern Hemisphere has a greater proportion of ocean coverage compared to the Northern Hemisphere which has more landmass. Water has a higher heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and release heat more slowly, leading to smaller temperature variations. Additionally, the Southern Hemisphere is less affected by large landmasses that can create temperature extremes.
The Southern Hemisphere has more ocean than the Northern Hemisphere, which acts as a heat sink, moderating the temperature variations. In the Southern Hemisphere, the distribution of land and water is more uniform, leading to smaller temperature fluctuations. The presence of the Antarctic ice sheet also helps stabilize temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Southern Hemisphere generally has warmer average temperatures compared to the Northern Hemisphere due to greater amounts of ocean coverage and southward distribution of land masses.
The seasonal temperature range is greater at 45N than at 45S because the Northern Hemisphere has more landmass compared to the Southern Hemisphere, which tends to heat up and cool down more rapidly than water. Land has a lower heat capacity and can experience more extreme temperature variations throughout the year.
A greater proportion of the Southern hemisphere is covered with water than the Northern hemisphere.
The southern hemisphere has more water! :)The southern hemisphere has water on 81% of its surface and the northern hemisphere has water on only 61% of its surface.The southern hemisphere has more water than the northern hemisphere because the northern hemisphere has the continent of Asia in it which takes up a lot of space.
The seasonal effect is localized to the planet earth i.e. northern hemisphere is in summer, while southern hemisphere is in winter and vice versa. It has nothing to do with the solar surface.
Landmasses located closer to the equator in the southern hemisphere tend to have warmer climates due to their proximity to the sun's direct rays. This can result in tropical or subtropical climates with higher temperatures and more consistent rainfall. Additionally, landmasses closer to the equator in the southern hemisphere may experience more diverse ecosystems and a greater variety of plant and animal species.
The northern hemisphere is called the land hemisphere because it has a greater landmass compared to the southern hemisphere. This is due to the distribution of continents and large landmasses predominantly in the northern half of the Earth.
The northern hemisphere by a large margin has the most land and the greater land - to - ocean ratio. The 4 largest countries on earth, Russia, Canada, USA and China are all in the northern hemisphere which helps.
There is less seasonal difference in albedo in the tropics and southern hemisphere because these regions receive consistent sunlight throughout the year due to their proximity to the equator. In contrast, regions north of 40 degrees N experience greater seasonal differences in albedo due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, leading to more variation in sunlight exposure throughout the year.
The City of Greater Dandenong Library in Melbourne, Australia is considered the largest suburban library in the Southern Hemisphere. It covers an area of 7,000 square meters and houses a vast collection of books, digital resources, and community spaces for various activities and programs.
