I live in New York, and my entire life I've known that the best side of a house 
is the one with the Southern Exposure, because it gets the most sunlight.

Is this the opposite for the Southern Hemisphere?  Or is it the same?

I guess what I'm really asking is:  What exactly causes "Southern Exposure?"  is 
it the 23 degree tilt of the earth on it's axis? the distance from the equator?  
what?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
