Well ONE place exists at ONE point on Earth and that ONE point is either in the Southern Hemisphere OR in the Nothern Hemisphere - is is not on BOTH.

Well ONE place exists at ONE point on Earth and that ONE point is either in the Southern Hemisphere OR in the Nothern Hemisphere - is is not on BOTH.
A place can be located in both the northern and southern hemispheres by straddling the equator, which is the imaginary line that separates the two hemispheres. This means that the location is equally positioned north and south of the equator. Examples of such places include Ecuador, Kenya, and Indonesia.

Every place on earth is located on how many hemispheres?
Every place on Earth is located on four hemispheres: northern, southern, eastern, and western.
Could a country be in northern and southern hemisphere?
No, a country cannot be simultaneously in the northern and southern hemispheres as the equator marks the boundary between the two hemispheres. Countries are located either north or south of the equator, but not both.
What are the two ways to divide earth into hemispheres?
Earth can be divided into hemispheres based on either latitude (Northern and Southern Hemispheres) or longitude (Eastern and Western Hemispheres). The equator divides the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, while the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line divide the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
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.
Explain how one place can be located in either the northern or southern hemisphere and the eastern or western hemisphere?
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.
Every place on earth is located on how many hemispheres?
Every place on Earth is located on four hemispheres: northern, southern, eastern, and western.
Is all continents are in at least two hemispheres?
Yes. Either in Northern or Southern And Either in Eastern or Western
Why do water in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise down the drain and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere?
it has nothing to do with the hemispheres, it depends on the shape of the drain. It can go either direction in both hemispheres
Where in the southern hemispherre is the international date line?
The International Dateline completely crosses both the northern and southern hemispheres. There's no position (latitude) in either hemisphere that's not on that line.
Why is the Southern Hemisphere warmer in January than in July?
January is summer in the southern hemisphere. Likewise, July is winter. The seasons are reversed in the two hemispheres because the Sun can only shine more directly on either the Northern or Southern hemispheres (creating summer), due to the axial tilt of the Earth.
How can one place be located in either the northern or southern hemisphere and the eastern and western hemisphere?
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
Explain how one place can be located in either the northern or southern hemisphere and the eastern or western hemisphere?
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.
Which hemispheres lie on either side of the Prime Meridian?
The eastern hemisphere lies east of the Prime Meridian; the western hemisphere lies west of the Prime Meridian.western and eastern hemispheres
What hemispheres is the US in?
The united states is in the northern and western and eastern (Alaska sits either side of the 180o meridian) hemispheres.
How many degrees south is the equator in south latitude?
The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude. The South Pole is at the centre of the Southern Hemisphere. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. Every line of latitude between 0 and 90 S are in the Southern Hemisphere.
When you travel from southern Ecuador to northern Ecuador you go from the southern hemisphere to northern hemisphere How can this be?
The equator passes through Ecuador, so when you travel from southern Ecuador to northern Ecuador, you are crossing the equator and moving from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. This allows for the shift in hemisphere despite staying within the same country.
When you travel from southern Ecuador to northern Ecuador you go from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere .How can this be?
That's no problem at all, and it should cause you no concern. When you travelfrom southern Ecuador to northern Ecuador, your route must cross the equator.The equator crosses Ecuador, and is defined as the boundary line between thenorthern and southern hemispheres. Consequently, part of Ecuador is in thenorthern hemisphere, while the rest of that country is in the southern one, andwhen you travel between those two parts of the country ... via either the shorterroute or the longer one ... you also cross the line between those two hemispheres.
