Why does the northern hemisphere have less precipitation?

The northern hemisphere generally has less precipitation because there is more land area compared to the southern hemisphere, where there is more open ocean. Land heats up and cools down faster than water, creating less moisture in the air. Additionally, the presence of large mountain ranges like the Rockies and the Himalayas in the northern hemisphere can block moisture-laden air masses, leading to decreased precipitation in certain regions.
