The equator is the imaginary central line that runs east and west along the earth, whereas, the prime meridian runs north and south. If we follow the equator we must move to the east and then north to arrive at the United Kingdom.
Therefore the U.K. is located northeast from the equator.
The UK is north of the equator and is directly on the prime meridian.
North of it.
Northern
The North-East Hemisphere.
Trade winds are found in the tropics in the lower section of the troposphere near the Earth's equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the north-east in the Northern Hemisphere and from the south-east in the Southern Hemisphere.
In order to find a precise location on Earth, one needs to know where -- in which hemisphere, the location can be found. The north and south coordinates -- separated by the Equator -- tell the distance north or south, and the east and west coordinates are also required. The east and west coordinates -- separated by Prime Meridian and the International Date Line -- tell the distance east or west.
Australia's latitude is south and its longitude is east. This is because Australia is located below the equator in the southern hemisphere and to the east of the Prime Meridian in the eastern hemisphere.
The southernmost point on Earth is the south pole. The northernmost point on Earth is the north pole. There is no east or west pole.
The Earth is divided into four hemispheres: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. These divisions are based on lines of latitude and longitude that intersect at the Earth's poles.
The sun rises from north east in the summer and south east in the winter in the Northern hemisphere due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
The Northern Hemisphere is the most populated out of the four hemispheres of the world, with a majority of the world's population residing in countries such as China, India, and the United States.
hemisphere
Hemisphere means half of a sphere or globe. It is used to describe half of a celestial object or planet. Earth is divided into a north and south hemisphere by the equator, and lines of longitude bisect Earth from north to south separating the west hemisphere (containing the Americas) from the east hemisphere (containing Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe).

The North-East Hemisphere.
As the Earth is spinning along a slant axis a spiral centrifugal force is responsible which throw the continents of northern hemisphere to the north-east side of the earth and the continents of southern hemisphere to south-east of the earth slowly.Thats why south-western parts of the earths plates are higher than the north eastern parts.
A hemisphere refers to half of a sphere or a celestial body, typically divided along an equator or meridian into northern and southern or eastern and western parts. It is often used to describe regions or parts of the Earth or the brain.
A hemisphere is a section of the Earth located north/south or between two major lines of latitude or longitude. The Northern Hemisphere is located north of the Equator. The Southern Hemisphere is located south of the Equator. The Western Hemisphere is located west of the Prime Meridian and east of the International Dateline. The Eastern Hemisphere is located east of the Prime Meridian and west of the International Dateline.
