The Earth is a globe (an oblate spheroid) that is separated into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere by the Equator (zero degrees latitude). The Equator horizontally encircles the Earth.

The Earth is a globe (an oblate spheroid) that is separated vertically by the Prime Meridian (zero degrees longitude) into the Western Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere.
a hemisphere looks like a sphere cut in half for example a melon cut in half
It is called symmetry. When an object is cut in half and both sides are identical, it exhibits symmetry.
Lansing is the capital of Michigan, the only state cut into two by the Great Lakes.

Unless you include some form of coordinates it simple produces two hemispheres, providing the cut is central to the axis.
Two hemispheres
We get two hemispheres.
The horizontal cut is called the transverse plane.
The heel cut.
A horizontal cut in woodworking is made to create a flat and level surface on a piece of wood. This type of cut is often used for joining pieces together or creating a smooth finish on a project.
You can imagine an enormous knife, cutting the Earth into two pieces. Whenever the center of the Earth is on the cut, the pieces are equal, and they're both hemispheres. If you cut through the equator, then you have the northern and southern hemispheres. If you cut through the Prime Meridian, then you have the eastern and western ones.. If you cut any other way, then you have a couple of hemispheres that are not of much use to anyone, since they have no relationship to the Earth's rotation, and those don't have names.
diagonally between the vertical and horizontal
When a sphere is cut with a vertical angled plane, the cross-section will be an ellipse. If the sphere is then cut by a horizontal plane, the cross-section will be a circle. Thus, the combination of these two cuts results in an elliptical cross-section from the angled cut and circular cross-sections from the horizontal cuts at various heights.
