The eastern hemisphere is half of the Earth. There is a division that is arbitrary and a matter of history which give a designation of eastern and western to two the two halves.

The eastern and western hemispheres are separated 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 called the 180th meridian or antemeridian.

There is another designation of northern and southern hemispheres which has a more rational origin.
