Both continents are located in what is called the Western Hemisphere. North America is the continent where it's northernmost islands are within the Arctic Circle, and extends south to near the Tropic of Cancer. Central America is the thin strip of land that conjoins North America to South America and runs through the Tropic of Cancer. South of that is South America, which has a similar shape to that of Africa except there is no significant horn on the eastern edge of the continent. The Equator runs through the northern part of South America, through the northern part of Brazil and southern part of Columbia. The Tropic of Capricorn runs through the southern half of the continent. The southernmost tip of South America is near Antarctica, but never close enough to be near the Antarctic Circle or South Pole.
