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.


Is Europe in the eastern or western hemisphere?

Europe is in the eastern hemiphere Europe straddles both hemispheres. What separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres are two lines of longitude: the Prime Meridian and the International Dateline. The Eastern Hemisphere is east of the Prime Meridian, but west of the I.D. The Western Hemisphere is west of the Prime Meridian, but east of the I.D. Now since the Prime Meridian goes through Europe, Europe is apart of both hemispheres, but more so the Eastern Hemisphere than the West. The only countries in Europe to be completely in the Western Hemisphere are Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, and Andorra. However, the P.M. also passes through the UK, France, and Spain, so those are trans-hemisphere countries. Most people incorrectly assume the Americas are the Western Hemisphere but this is not the case, though they are fully in the Western Hemisphere, they are not the only continents apart of it. In fact, most of West Africa is a part of the Western Hemisphere.

What hemisphere are countries east of the prime meridian located in?

The Prime Meridian is one of the of two boundaries between the Eastern and Western hemispheres (the other is the 180° meridian at the International Date Line). So the meridian itself could be considered in both or in neither.In latitude, the Prime Meridian extends from the North Pole to the South Pole, so it runs through both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, having exactly half of its length in each.
