Every planet rotates about an axis, so it has an equator in the plane normal to the line between the poles.
Every planet is spherical and therefore it can be divided arbitrarily into two hemispheres. If the division is done by the equator, there is a north hemisphere and a south hemisphere.
What else can I help you with?
Most of the earth's land is concentrated in which hemisphere--the Northern or the Southern?
The majority of Earth's land is located in the Northern Hemisphere. About 68% of the planet's landmass is in the Northern Hemisphere, compared to only about 32% in the Southern Hemisphere.
How many equators are there on earth?
There is only one equator on Earth. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Where is Antarctica in the northern hemisphere?
The Northern Hemisphere is the only one of the four hemispheres that cannot claim Antarctica. It is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Which hemisphere contains most of the landmass of the earth?
The Northern Hemisphere contains most of the Earth's landmass. About 68% of the total land area on Earth is in the Northern Hemisphere, while only around 32% is in the Southern Hemisphere.
Is the Arctic Circle in the northern or southern hemisphere?
Yes. & therefore the Antarctic Ocean is in the Southern Hemisphere.
Is Africa related to Hawaii?
Africa is related to Hawaii only in the sense that both are landforms on the planet Earth. Africa is a continent located mostly (but not entirely) in the southern hemisphere. Hawaii is a chain of volcanic islands located in the northern hemisphere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
What continents do not touch the southern hemisphere?
North America and Europe are the only two continents not in the Southern Hemisphere. Asia is only slightly in the Southern Hemisphere.
How much water is in the southern hemisphere?
Water makes up the vast majority of the surface of the Southern Hemisphere. Only about 10% of the southern hemisphere is land (South America, Australia, Antarctica, southern Africa). The oceans of the southern hemisphere are the South Atlantic, South Pacific, Indian, and Southern. They contain around 70% of the world's seawater.
What continent is in the southern hemisphere?
Australia and Antarctica are the only continents entirely in the southern hemisphere.
Are there 4 or 2 hemispheres?
Yes there are 4, Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western. Most people think it's only 2.
Can people in the southern hemisphere see the same constellations as people in the northern hemisphere?
No. One of the better known constellations in the northern hemisphere is the big dipper. People in the southern hemisphere can't see this. In the south the well known constellation is the southern cross, and you can't see this in the northern hemisphere.
Which continents lie only in the southern hemisphere?
Antarctica is the only continent that lies entirely in the Southern Hemisphere. Australia, South America, and Africa are continents that are predominantly in the Southern Hemisphere but also have parts in the Northern Hemisphere.
