why is new york city located in the northern hemisphere?

New York City, like most places on Earth, is located in the Northern Hemisphere due to the way the Earth is divided by the equator. The Earth is divided into two hemispheres: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth horizontally, dividing it into two equal halves: the northern half (Northern Hemisphere) and the southern half (Southern Hemisphere). New York City's geographical coordinates place it well above the equator, in the northern portion of the Earth. As a result, it falls within the Northern Hemisphere. The city is situated at approximately 40.7128 degrees latitude North and 74.0060 degrees longitude West. The distribution of land and water on Earth's surface, along with the Earth's rotation on its axis, determines the division of hemispheres. The Northern Hemisphere contains the majority of the world's landmasses, including North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. This is why cities like New York City are located in the Northern Hemisphere.
