No, the equator divides the Earth into Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Relatively the meridian is the factor that determines the Eastern/ Western Hemisphere and the one that counts 0 degrees [Prime Meridian] passes over Greenwich in UK and the opposite [180degrees] represents the international date line of Earth.
Meridians count longitude 0-180 degrees East/ West while the latitude lines [0-90degrees] depict on which hemisphere North or South a place is located.

The other half of the 'circle' is the meridian of 180° longitude, down the middle
of the Pacific Ocean. Each of them alone is a semi-circle, and they combine to
form a single 'great circle' around the Earth.

Together they mark the boundaries of 50%-50% of the Earth's longitudes.
