A hemisphere is half of a sphere, divided along its equator. There are two types of hemispheres – the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere – which are divided by the Earth's equator, and the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, divided by the Prime Meridian.
A hemisphere is half of a sphere, typically divided by the equator. There are four hemispheres on Earth: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. Each hemisphere is used to describe a specific region on the globe.
hemisphere means half a sphere. Since our planet is a sphere, it can be divided into two halves in two different ways. A horizontal line across the equator divides it into a northern and southern hemisphere. Similarly, a vertical line dissects it into an eastern and western hemisphere.
(often initial capital letter) half of the terrestrial globe or celestial sphere, esp. one of the halves into which the earth is divided. Compare Eastern Hemisphere, Western Hemisphere, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere.
1/2 of a sphere A hemisphere is half of a sphere as in northern or southern hemispheres of the earth.
Eastern, western, northern, and southern hemispheres.
The sphere is called planet Earth. Further, you can find Antarctica in the Eastern, Western and Southern hemispheres. You can find the Arctic in the Eastern, Western and Northern hemispheres.
There are usually two ways to split a sphere in two - north-south and east-west. The US is in the Northern hemisphere and in the Western hemisphere.

A hemisphere is one half of a sphere, so any sphere can be divided equally in two by a plane through its center.The geographical hemispheres of Earth are the cartological divisions of its surface. The most common are the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (separated by the equator) and the Eastern and Western Hemispheres (defined by the arbitrary E and W longitude designations). Locations up to 180° west of the Greenwich or Prime Meridian are the Western Hemisphere. Locations up to 180° east are in the Eastern Hemisphere.Continents entirely in the Western Hemisphere are North and South America. Continents entirely in the Eastern Hemisphere are Asia and Australia. Most of Africa, most of Europe, and half of Antarctica are also in the Eastern Hemisphere.The only continents that lie entirely in the Southern Hemisphere are Australia and Antarctica.
Yes, the northern and southern hemispheres. Or eatern and western hemisphere. Hemisphere is derived from Greek and literally means "half a sphere".
