Due to the position of the South Pole on Earth, it receives much less sunlight than most other places on the planet. During the Antarctic winter-time, sunlight may not be present for months on end.

Is South England or North England colder?

North England is colder, because England is in the Northern Hemisphere, and in the Northern Hemisphere, the further north you go the colder the weather is because if you do you will get closer to the North Pole, or Arctic if you prefer. If England was in the Southern Hemisphere, all of this writing would be the opposite. I also used to think that the Arctic and Antarctica were just two freezing cold places right next to each other, but they're opposite parts of the world. Antarctica's colder though, but they're still both freezing cold. I live in South England

Why is the top and the bottam of the earth cold?

The top and bottom of the Earth, near the North and South poles, are colder than other parts of the Earth due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This tilt causes these regions to receive less direct sunlight, leading to colder temperatures. Additionally, the extreme angles of sunlight hitting these areas create longer nights, further contributing to the cold temperatures.
