The Northern Hemisphere receives more daylight hours than the Southern Hemisphere.
Explanation: During Northern spring (Southern fall) the Sun's direct rays are moving northward and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted more toward the Sun, so days are getting longer there. (Equal daylight and equal energy occur only at the equinox; "Sun directly overhead" is true only for locations under the moving subsolar point, not for the whole hemisphere.)
