Yes, it can be when the globe is split at either the Equator or the Prime Meridian; but a hemisphere is technically a three-dimensional shape that is half of a sphere (ball shape).
A half of the Earth that is cut longitudinally is referred to as a hemisphere.
Hemisphere: Is the center line that divides the world in half vertically Equator: Is the center line that divides the world horizontally. Both of these lines are imaginary lines drawn up on maps and globes.
There is no such thing as half of the Earth. If you are referring to half of the spherical shape of the Earth then it will be a hemisphere.
By my understanding, the earth is divided into to 2 halves by the Equator (the line that runs from west to east around the earth) we call this halves Hemispheres...There is the "northern hemisphere" and "southern hemisphere"...The Greenwich meridian (the line that runs from north to south around the earth) divides the earth into the "western hemisphere" and "eastern hemisphere"..
The bottom half of the Earth is called the Southern Hemisphere. This includes continents and countries such as Australia, Antarctica, South America, Africa, and parts of Asia. It is the region south of the equator.
the northern hemisphere the other half the south hemisphere
the northern hemisphere the other half the south hemisphere
the northern hemisphere the other half the south hemisphere

hemisphere-one half of the earth
The term that means half the earth is "hemisphere." The earth is divided into two main hemispheres: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, each representing half of the planet's surface.
The northern is hemisphere is just the north upper half of the Earth. So it is the upper half of the Earth
One half of the earth is a hemisphere. There is a northern, southern, eastern, and western hemisphere.
Each half of the earth is called a hemisphere. These are divisions of Earth's sphere that follow longitudinal and latitudinal lines to divide the earth into two parts. Earth can either be divided into to northern and southern hemispheres or eastern and western hemispheres.
