Why winter in the northern hemisphere is much colder and snowier than winter in the southern hemisphere?

Question

To clarify, I’m asking why when it is winter IN the southern hemisphere, why is it milder than winters in the northern.

Not asking why are the seasons reversed.

Answer 1

The Northern Hemisphere has about twice as much land as the Southern Hemisphere.

Land heats up and cools down much more quickly than water does.

During the winter in the Northern Hemisphere, when we get less sun, things cool down quickly and winter can be quite severe.

During the winter in the Southern Hemisphere, when they get less sun, things cool down more slowly so their winters are milder.
