1)Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.
2)When the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, sunlight hits more directly, and it warms up this part of the earth. In the winter, when the northern hemisphere is pointed away from the sun slightly, the sun's rays come in at an angle and have less of an impact.
3)The lower mean temperature of the southern hemisphere is due to the amount of heat transferred over from that hemisphere to the northern by ocean-currents
