When the sun is farther north of the equator, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.

Melbourne, Australia is farther south than Buenos Aires, Argentina. Melbourne is located in the southern hemisphere, closer to the South Pole, while Buenos Aires is located in the northern hemisphere.
This is only true for the northern hemisphere. The reason is that the further south you go, the more directly overhead the sun is on average. The means that there is more heat from the sun per square mile.
True. Venezuela is farther from the equator than Iran.
There is more land surface in the Northern Hemisphere and land has a lower specific heat than water therefore warming faster than the vast oceans of the Southern Hemisphere.
The Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere meet each other along the Equator, so they are the same distance.

All species of penguin are native to the Southern Hemisphere. The Galapagos penguin lives in the vicinity of the equator and so, technically, a few miles into the northern hemisphere, but no penguins live any farther north than that.
Mapmakers draw the equator on a map to show the line of latitude that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It is a reference point for navigation and helps provide context for understanding the locations of countries in relation to the equator.
As you move from a pole toward the Equator the Earth's spin will act against the force of gravity, so that the net gravity will fell less as you approach the Equator. As you move away from the equator towards a pole (as in moving south, when in southern hemisphere), the spin effect becomes less, so the feel of gravity will increase. The amount of change is slight. Also, the equator is a little farther away from the center of mass than the pole, making the gravitational pull at the equator a little less, as well.
The northern hemisphere is located above the equator and includes parts of North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is characterized by colder climates in regions farther north and warmer climates in regions closer to the equator.
During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the earth is tilted by its axis so the Northern Hemisphere is away from the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. During winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the earth axis is tilted the other way, so that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is farther away.
sure
The earth is closer to the Sun in the southern hemisphere when it is summer, but during summer in the northern hemisphere the earth is farther away by many millions of kilometres . Although this will change gradually and in 13,000 years the opposite will be true .
the answer to that question would be...summer. itis summer in the equator all the time because , the equator is farther away from the arctic circle than any other country or island or any thing!
Colder compared to what? It is colder in the winter than in the summer because the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun in the winter. It is colder in Vermont compared to southern states because it is farther from the equator, and therefore receives lesss heat from the sun
