Prime Meridian
The Capital of Russia, Moscow is on the Eastern Hemisphere. It's border is on the line between the Eastern and Western Hemisphere.
By most standards, the prime meridian (which runs through Greenwich, England) as the eastern edge of the Western Hemisphere (and the western edge of the eastern hemisphere) and its longitudinal opposite at 180 degrees longitude (west or east, which runs through the Pacific Ocean) being the western edge of the western hemisphere and the eastern edge of the eastern hemisphere. The time zones known as Greenwich Mean Time and the International Date Line are sometimes alternatively used to demark the western from eastern hemispheres, but the would not be true hemispheres as those time zones are not straight longitudes.
The full circle formed by the Prime Meridian and the meridian of 180° longitude separates the eastern and western hemispheres.

A little of each. The dividing line is the Greenwich Meridian, which passes right through Greenwich England. Keep in mind that "western hemisphere" and "Western Civilization" are not the same thing.
The Prime Meridian splits the world into the Eastern and Western Hemisphere. If you are east of the line you are in the Eastern Hemisphere.

The Prime Meridian
International dateline
The Equator divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
The International Date Line and the Prime Meridian both separate the eastern from the western hemisphere.
France is a part of both the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. The dividing line is the Prime Meridian, so most of France is in the Eastern Hemisphere.
South America is in the Western Hemisphere. The dividing line is Greenwich in England.
Well you should have learned this in the mid 5th grade, but... The imaginary line that separates the Eastern and Western hemisphere is called the equator.
Completely in the western hemisphere. it has become a matter of convention to refer to the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. The division is specified by an imaginary line drawn between the North pole and the South pole that passes through Greenwich, England. Everything to the east of that line is the Eastern hemisphere and everything to the west is the Western Hemisphere, and the two hemispheres meet again at a line on exactly the opposite side of the Earth. The US lies west of the line passing through Greenwich.
