The Northern Hemisphere is tilted further away from the sun and receives less direct sunlight.
the earth tilts which changes the seasons. we are getting ready for our winter and austrailia is getting ready for their summer.
This is like asking "Why is it dark on one side of Earth when it's light on the other."
I guess reading a little bit about the seasons would be asking too much.
