Is Australia in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere?

Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere, with a territory of 7,692,024 square kilometers and is surrounded by sea. It is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent, so it is also called "Australia". Australia, which has many unique flora, fauna and natural landscapes, is a country of immigrants that pursues multiculturalism. Australia is a highly developed capitalist country with Canberra as its capital.

As the most economically developed country in the southern hemisphere, the 12th largest economy in the world, and the fourth largest exporter of agricultural products in the world, it is also the world's largest exporter of various minerals, so it is known as "Sitting in the Sea" Country on a Mine Cart.” At the same time, Australia is also the country with the largest number of sheep and wool exports in the world. It is also known as the "country riding on the sheep's back". Extended information

Australian climate characteristics:

Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere. Although the time difference with China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) is only 2-3 hours, the seasons are completely opposite. Summer is from December to February, autumn is from March to May, winter is from June to August, and spring is from September to November. The average annual temperature is 27°C in the north and 14°C in the south. Australia spans two climate zones. The northern part is tropical. Because it is close to the equator, January to February is the typhoon period.

Southern Australia belongs to the temperate zone. The central and western parts of Australia are desolate deserts with drought and little rainfall, high temperatures and large temperature differences; in the coastal areas, there is abundant rainfall and a humid climate. Australia is the driest continent in the world. Drinking water mainly comes from natural precipitation and relies on dams to store water for water supply. The government strictly prohibits the use of groundwater because once underground water resources are exploited, it is difficult to recover.
