How do lines of latitude and longitude determine what hemisphere a place is located in?
Lines of latitude measure the distance north or south of the equator, dividing the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Lines of longitude measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, dividing the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. By using the intersection of these lines, we can determine which hemisphere a place is located in.

How many lines of latitude and longitude are there in each hemisphere?
there are ninety lines in each hemisphere There are 90 degrees of latitude in the northern Hemisphere, and another 90 in the southern one. There are 180 degrees of longitude in the eastern Hemisphere, and another 180 in the western one. In each hemisphere, you're free to draw as few or as many lines in that range of numbers as you want to see. There's no standard set of 'lines' that everybody must use. Some maps and globes have more lines on them, some have fewer, some don't have any at all. Would you go into the hardware store and ask the man "How many lines are there on the tape measure ?" ?
