The equator passes through 13 countries. The country that is divided almost in half by the equator is the Democratic Republic of Congo. The equator passes through Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Sao Tome & Principe, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Maldives, Indonesia and Kiribati.
A hemisphere is half of any sphere. The earth can be divided into several - most usually the Northern/Southern hemispheres and the Eastern/Western hemispheres. As a European country, The Netherlands (the 'proper' name for Holland) is in both the Northern hemisphere and the Western hemisphere.
One half of the earth is a hemisphere. There is a northern, southern, eastern, and western hemisphere.
The main four divisions are: The Equator (zero Latitude) separates the World into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian (zero Longitude) separates the World into the Western Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere.
The word hemisphere is made from two words: hemi = half, and sphere = a 3-dimensional shape with a boarder equidistant from a center point (aka, a ball). So a hemisphere is one-half of a ball, cut through the middle.
Any half of a planet with a great circle as a boundary can be called a hemisphere. Most often the equator is used as a boundary dividing the planet into a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere. The Earth has an accepted "prime meridian" (which runs through Greenwich England) and the continuation of that meridian divides the Earth into an eastern and a western hemisphere.
The world can be divided into two hemispheres: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. These are separated by the equator.
the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere
The northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.
The globe is divided into the northern and southern hemisphere (divide by the equator) , and the eastern and western hemisphere (divided by the International Dateline).
The northern hemisphere, and the southern hemisphere.
The Eastern hemisphere and Western Hemisphere (divided by the Prime Meridian), and the Southern Hemisphere and Northern hemisphere (divided by the Equator).
The World is divided into four parts: the Western Hemisphere; the Eastern Hemisphere, the Northern Hemisphere, and the Southern Hemisphere.
No it is not divided ffrom the prime meridiain only from the equator
There are four hemispheres. The Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere is divided by the Equator. The Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere is divided by the Prime Meridian.The Equator is zero degrees latitude. The Prime Meridian is zero degrees longitude.
Prime Meridian
It is the Equator (zero Latitude) that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The planet Earth can be divided in half two different ways. It can be divided into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere, or the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
