The eastern and western hemispheres are each 12 hours wide, and along half of
the boundary between them, the day changes. So, depending on what point you
pick in each hemisphere, the time in the Western Hemisphere could be anywhere
from 12 hours earlier to 23 hours earlier than the time in the eastern one.

What separates the westerns and eastern 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.
Where did the first inhabitants of the western hemisphere come from?
The first inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere came from Asia. At a time when the Bering Strait was frozen, they were able to walk from Siberia to Alaska.
What would happen if the people of the eastern and western hemisphere never had contact with one another?
The western hemisphere's continents would have no human inhabitants. The Native Americans came from Asia, presumably over the land bridge before it was flooded over from rising waters, so they never would have lived in the Americas had they not first entered the western hemisphere themselves. But if you intended a scenerio where the Native Americans did populate America, and the Europeans didn't discover it, then it would not be called the Americas after Amerigo Vespuchi, and the Indians would not have the politicaly incorect designation as Indians either. There would have to be very different history. Had the Vikings not visited the western hemisphere, and raided Indian settlements along the east coast (long before the spanish visited), the development of society there would have surely taken a different path. Perhaps the Mound Builders would never have vanished, and perhaps conflicts between the Native American empires would have spurred technological innovations the likes of which have never been seen. If this bizarre plot were to unfold further with no contact between the two sides of the Earth, then it could have been Native American armies which ultimately conquered the decaying empires of Europe. WW1, WW2, the space race, all could have very easily been removed from history had anything been different, but if this scenerio happened, who knows what would be different by this time. With the absence of WW1 and 2, warfare would be carried out differently, the Arian race or whatever would have been annihilated by the red master race instead of causing so much terror to the world themselves, and perhaps feeble and submissive caucasians would now be typical slaves, the strong having been eliminated by the invaders. And people would wonder what would be different, had the Europeans or even the Asians discovered the continents of the western hemisphere before the western hemisphere discovered them. Contact between the two hemispheres was inevitable. But if events had transpired in such a way that contact was postponed, something like this could have happened.
How is the western dragon and the eastern dragon the same?
The Western and Eastern dragons have very little in common. However, both are large, mythical creatures of great power and intelligence. Both are said to fly (though Eastern dragons have no actual wings) and both value treasure. Both lay eggs and live for a long time. And both have a great significance and influence in the cultures of their respective regions - the Western dragon is feared and hated, while the Eastern dragon is revered.
What was the state religion of the Eastern Roman Empire circa 1300?
The religion of the former eastern part of the Roman Empire in 1300 was Orthodox Christianity. It had been so since the Edict of Thessalonica on 380, except that at that time it was called Greek of Eastern Christianity. Edict of Thessalonica made mainstream Christianity (Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity) the sole legitimate religion of the Roman Empire. Its purpose t was to ban dissident Christian doctrines, which were branded as heretic. The main target was Arian Christianity, which was popular around the empire. At that time the Latin/Western church and the Greek/Eastern Church, were the main churches of the western and eastern part of the empire respectively. They were two branches of one church which was called Catholic Church and they both subscribed to the Nicene Creed, a particular interpretation of the trinity Later these two churches spit and came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively. Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans did not use them. The said Roman Empire. Historians have also coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part in the late 5th century. The Romans did not use this term, either. They called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania).

What is the time difference when travelling through the eastern and western hemisphere?
Time zones.
Why does the eastern hemisphere have night when the western hemisphere has day?
The Sun can only illuminate half the Earth at a time.
Does the earth's western and eastern hemisphere have the same seasons at the same time?
No because the two hemispheres are at different sides of the Earth. At one time the Eastern hemisphere has the sunlight directed directly at it. That's Summer and that's Winter for the Western hemisphere. Vice Versa
Why does the eastern hemisphere experiences daytime while the western hemisphere experiences night?
If that ever happens, it happens because the eastern and western hemispheres are on opposite sides of the Earth, and only 50% of the Earth at a time can face the sun.
Why does the eastern hemisphere experience daytime while the western hemisphere experience night?
The sun only lights one half of the Earth at a time.
Compare the development of complex civilizations in the Western Hemisphere with those of the Eastern Hemisphere What factors might account for those differences?
The Western Hemisphere is the hemisphere that includes North and South America; the civilizations that developed in the Western Hemisphere, such as the Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs, were not as complex as those in the Eastern Hemisphere. There are doubtlessly many different reasons why it worked out that way, but it is probably important that the Eastern Hemisphere, including Eurasia and Africa, was inhabited for a much longer time and had more diverse ethnicities with longer histories, which became more competititve with each other than the relatively homogeneous cultures of the Western Hemisphere, and the competition pushed civilization to greater complexity. I would also say that the invention of the phonetic alphabet by the Phonecians was perhaps the single most critical advance of the Eastern Hemisphere.
Into how many hemispheres is the globe divided?
2 at a time. Hemisphere means one-half. Of course, the Earth's surface can be divided in half north and south of the equator, or in half based on longitude (eastern and western hemispheres). So there are 4 "named" hemispheres. For example, the northern hemisphere contains the northern half of the eastern hemisphere and the northern half of the western hemisphere.
If western hemisphere is daytime what time would it be in the eastern hemisphere?
There are only two moments in time when it's possible for the entire westernhemisphere to be in daylight ... one instant on March 21 and one instant onSeptember 21. IF it should ever happen, at either of those instants, then itwould be night throughout the eastern hemisphere. But the odds against itever happening are tremendous.
Do eastern and western hemisphere have different seasons?
-- Eastern and western hemispheres have the same seasons at the same time.-- Northern and southern hemispheres have the same seasons six months apart.
Is France located in the northeastern hemisphere?
There is no such thing as a northeastern hemisphere. Hemisphere comes from Greek and means half globe or half orb. Northeast would result in a quarter globe; the part that the northern and the eastern hemisphere both cover. The northern hemisphere is the part of the earth that lies North of the equator (i.e. everything between the equator and the north pole). The southern hemisphere, as you would have guessed, is the opposite. The eastern hemisphere is the part of the earth that lies east of the 0-meridian (the north-south linh that runs through Greenwich, London). The western hemisphere, again, is the opposite. They meet on the opposite side of the earth at 180°, approximately on the date/time border. France is on the northern hemisphere and the major part of it, is on the eastern hemisphere.
What hemisphere does the prime meridian place Georgia?
The former Soviet Republic of Georgia is in the eastern Hemisphere. The state of Georgia in the USA is in the western Hemisphere. Neither of them is anywhere near the Prime Meridian.
