A hemisphere means 'half a sphere'. The Earth being a sphere, is divided into two hemispheres by the Equator.

Any country , continent or ocean north of the Equator is in the Northern Hemisphere. Similarly, the Southern Hemisphere.

A continent is a land mass. such is its shape, it may be wholly in the northern/southern hemisphere.

Both African and South America (Continents) have part of their land in both hemispheres. .
