What are the four hemispheres or the earth?

Hemisphere comes from Greek and means half globe or half orb. The northern hemisphere is the part of the earth that lies North of the equator (i.e. everything between the equator and the north pole). The southern hemisphere, as you would have guessed, is the opposite. The eastern hemisphere is the part of the earth that lies east of the 0-meridian (the north-south linh that runs through Greenwich, London). The western hemisphere, again, is the opposite. They meet on the opposite side of the earth at 180°, approximately on the date/time border.


Which 2 hemispheres does the US lie in?

North & West Western Hemisphere, because it is west of the Prime meredian and Northern Hemisphere because it is located above the Equator. Strange as it may seem, there is also a tiny part of the USA in the Eastern Hemisphere. It's the western portion of the Aleutian chain of islands that dangles from the "chin" of Alaska, and keeps going, across the meridian of 180 longitude into the eastern hemisphere. It's all part of the state of Alaska, and part of the US.
