The equator divides the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere. Therefore any nation or city that lies on the equator contains areas that are in one or the other of the two hemispheres. Kenya in Africa is located in both hemispheres. In South America Ecuador is in both hemispheres among other nations. As for "eastern and western hemispheres" I believe that there is no accepted definition for those terms. However, the "Western World" is considered to be the continents of North America and South America. There is, however no geometric plane that cuts through the earth vertically the way that the equator cuts through the earth

A place's location in the hemisphere is determined by its distance from the equator and the Prime Meridian. For example, a city could be in the northern hemisphere if it is above the equator, and in the Western Hemisphere if it is west of the Prime Meridian. This intersection of latitude and longitude coordinates determines which hemispheres a place is located in.
