How can Tennessee be in two different hemispheres?

That's not a problem. There are parts of Africa in four different hemispheres.I think the key is to remind you that we talk about four different hemispheres,and no hemisphere locks out ALL of the other ones. In fact, each hemisphereonly locks out ONE of the others, and with very few exceptions, every point onEarth is generally in two hemispheres.Here's what I mean:-- Northern hemisphere:Half of it is also in the Eastern hemisphere and theother half of it is also in the Western hemisphere.-- Southern hemisphere:Half of it is also in the Eastern hemisphere and theother half of it is also in the Western hemisphere.-- Eastern hemisphere:Half of it is also the Northern hemisphere and theother half of it is also in the Southern hemisphere.-- Western hemisphere:Half of it is also in the Northern hemisphere and theother half of it is also in the Southern hemisphere.Tennessee is in the half of the Northern hemisphere that's also in theWestern hemisphere, and in the half of the Western hemisphere that'salso in the Northern one.Is this confusing you ? It could all be clear if someone showed it to youon a globe. But before you leave here, try thinking about it this way:-- On a piece of paper, draw a big square.-- Then draw a line across the middle of it that splits it intothe top half and the bottom half.-- Then draw another line, up and down, through the middle ofthe square, that splits it into the left half and the right half. Now you have one big square with four little squares inside of it. Pick one of thelittle ones. Any point in that little square might be in the top half of the big oneAND the left half of the big one, both at the same time.
