The Equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at zero degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox.
The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept.
The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which seperates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude.
The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line are the two lines that separate the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.

Is the equator a 0 degree longitude that separates the eastern hemisphere from the western?
No. Sorry. Wrong on all counts. The equator is a zero-degrees-latitude line that separates the northern hemisphere from the southern. And you misspelled "separates" too.
Which continent is bisected into almost two equal parts by the equator?
The Equator is an imaginary horizontal line of latitude. It is zero (0) latitude. It separates the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere.
What parts can earth be divided into?
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.
What is Lines that's run east and west measure how far north or south of the equator you are?
They are Lines of Latitude (sometimes known as Parallels of Latitude). The Equator (zero latitude) horizontally encircles the Earth and separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Moving northwards from the Equator, the lines of Latitude increase in degrees. Moving South from the Equator, the lines of Latitude also increase in degrees the same as for the northern direction. The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees North, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees South.
If a city is located on a line of latitude labeled 40 degrees north is it located in north hemisphere or southern hemisphere?
All "north" latitudes are in the northern hemisphere.
What is the line of the latitude that separates the northern and southern hemisphere called?
Equator

What are two halves of the earth divided north-south and east-west?
The Equator (zero latitude) separates the Southern Hemisphere from the Northern Hemisphere.The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) separates the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western Hemisphere.

the equator is a line of latitude that separates the earth into north and south hemispheres
Is Greece in the northern or southern hemisphere?
Greece is in the northern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is north of the equator. The southern hemisphere is south of the equator. You can find this out on a map and/or with latitude or longitude.
What line of latitude that divides the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere?
the equator.
What is a zero degrees latitude and separates the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres?

What parallel of latitude separates the northern and southern hemispheres?
hoizontal line
Is the southern hemisphere on earth's hemisphere?
The Southern Hemisphere is south of the Equator, and the Northern Hemisphere is north of the Equator. The Equator is the zero (0) line of latitude.
What parts can earth be divided into?
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.
