No land completely covers the Southern Hemisphere.
South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica cover large parts of it,
but there's still a huge amount of it left uncovered, for oceans.
Antarctica has no land in the northern hemisphere.
Russia is the largest country in the world, and therefore the largest one in the eastern hemisphere. It doesn't exactly 'cover' two continents, but it extends into them, with part of the country in Europe and the remainder in Asia.
North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific ocean.
The Western Hemisphere (west longitude) has more water than the Eastern Hemisphere (east longitude), which has more land area. Asia, most of Europe, most of Africa, Australia, and about 70% of Antarctica comprise the land of the Eastern Hemisphere, compared to two continents (Americas) for the Western. The Eastern and Western hemispheres roughly split the Pacific Ocean, plus the Western Hemisphere contains practically all of the Atlantic Ocean.The comparison is about the same if the alternate convention is used, in which the eastern hemisphere is defined as between 20°W and 160°E.(Because of the grouping of the major continents, the southern hemisphere has much more water and the northern hemisphere has much more land.)
yes it could cover 7 continents
The Northern Hemisphere has much more land than the southern. About 7/8 of the world's land area is in the Northern Hemisphere.Even the Land Hemisphere (half of Earth's surface containing the maximum land area) is still slightly more than half water. Oceans cover 70% of Earth's surface.
Continents cover about 29% of Earth's surface. The rest is mostly covered by oceans.

July has the longest hours of sunlight because in July it has the longest dayAnswerThe above is OK for someone in the northern hemisphere, but for the majority of those in the southern hemisphere, January is the month with most sunshine. In many tropical areas, the wet season means that cloud cover reduces the sunlight hours and so the most sun would be in the dry season. This may be the opposite of the other areas in the same hemisphere. An example is in Australia, where most of the southern parts of the country have highest sunlight in mid-summer or January, but the tropical city of Darwin in the north has it's sunniest month in July - even though still in the southern hemisphere. The right answer is:Dec 21st for the South Pole and southern Hemisphere and June 21st for the North Pole and Northern Hemisphere

75% of the earth is covered by water. Only 25% of the earth is covered by the continents.
