Hemisphere means "half sphere" so hemispherical division means that there are two equal parts, as in the northern and southern hemispheres (or the eastern and western hemispheres) where each consists of one half of the Earth's surface.
2 at a time. Hemisphere means one-half. Of course, the Earth's surface can be divided in half north and south of the equator, or in half based on longitude (eastern and western hemispheres). So there are 4 "named" hemispheres. For example, the northern hemisphere contains the northern half of the eastern hemisphere and the northern half of the western hemisphere.
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.
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 world can be divided into 4 different hemispheres. If the world is divided in half vertically, there is the Eastern and Western Hemisphere. If the world is divided in half horizontally, there is the Northern as Southern Hemisphere. The New World was located in the Western Hemisphere, as most explorers would say. If one would want to be very specific, one could say that the New World was located in the North Western Hemisphere.
A sphere composed of two hemispheres would be called a hemisphere. Each hemisphere is a half of a sphere that are divided by an equatorial plane. The earth, for example, is divided into the northern and southern hemispheres.

Christmas would occur in winter in the Northern Hemisphere around the globe. In the Southern Hemisphere Christmas would occur in the summer as their seasons are opposite to the Northern Hemisphere.
Thats a term to describe the globe. A hemisphere is half, upper & lower. US is in the Norther half. Equator would be the dividing line.

Well, since it is a globe, it must be the southern hemisphere, if there were south-east hemispheres it would work but, now it is only southern hemisphere. ^.^
No. A quick look at a map or globe would tell you as much.
The question is far too broad. Everything north of the equator is the northern hemisphere.
The world can be divided into 4 different hemispheres. If the world is divided in half vertically, there is the Eastern and Western Hemisphere. If the world is divided in half horizontally, there is the Northern as Southern Hemisphere. The New World was located in the Western Hemisphere, as most explorers would say. If one would want to be very specific, one could say that the New World was located in the North Western Hemisphere.
The Arctic Ocean lies at the top of the northern hemisphere. Since the North Pole lies more or less in the middle of it, it would be considered to be split about evenly between the eastern and western hemispheres if you want to divide the globe that way.
