The northern and southern Hemispheres each consist of a range of 90 degrees

of latitude. They meet at the equator ... it's the boundary between them. There's

no gap between them at the equator, so if you wanted to, you could go to the

equator and stand with one foot in each hemisphere. Each hemisphere is shaped

like ... like ... like a hemisphere. That's like half of a grapefruit. Their edges fit together

to make a complete sphere, and the distance between them at their edges, as well

as the angle between them, is zero.

What does the equatorial line represent?

The equatorial line represents the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It is located at 0 degrees latitude.


Why does the southern hemisphere experience winter and summer solstice in different times than of the northern hemisphere?

As everyone knows the Earth tilts on it's axis at the angle of 66 and half degrees. On 21st December the Earth tilts on it's axis so that the sun would hit the southern hemisphere and then the southern hemisphere would have winter while the northern hemisphere would have winter. So when the sun's rays hit the northern hemisphere then the northern hemisphere would have summer while the southern hemisphere would have winter.


Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere when it is winter in the southern hemisphere?

The earth is on an angle of 23.5 degrees. So one end of the planet is closer to the sun then the other. During the northern hemisphere's summer its is closest to the sun and the southern hemisphere is furthest from the sun.


Why does northern hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere have opposite season?

The Northern and Southern Hemispheres experience opposite seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which is about 23.5 degrees. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it receives more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer temperatures and summer. Conversely, during this time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, leading to cooler temperatures and winter. This axial tilt causes the seasonal changes as the Earth orbits the Sun.

What are the trade winds at each latitude?

Trade winds blow from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are typically found between 30 and 60 degrees latitude, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they occur between 0 and 30 degrees latitude.

Is the equator between the northern hemisphere and the southern one?

Yes, the equator is an imaginary line that runs horizontally around the Earth, dividing it into the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and is equidistant from the North Pole and the South Pole.


What is the differences in degrees between a southern hemisphere and a northern hemisphere compass?

There is a 180-degree difference between a compass in the southern hemisphere and one in the northern hemisphere. This is due to the magnetic field lines of the Earth, which determine the orientation of the compass needle based on the geographic location.


If a city is located on a line of latitude labeled 40 degrees north is it located in north hemisphere or southern hemisphere?

A city located on a line of latitude labeled 40 degrees north is in the northern hemisphere. The equator is the dividing line between the northern and southern hemispheres. Any location north of the equator is considered part of the northern hemisphere.
