the prime meridian is like the equator. It is 0o and splits the earth into the eastern and Western Hemisphere. If you look at a globe it passes through some countries, for example, the United Kingdom, and is a line of longitude (north and south).

The Prime Meridian is the line of longitude designated as 0 degrees, from which all other lines of longitude are measured. It passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, and is used as the starting point for calculating time zones and coordinating time around the world.

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.
