Europe is almost entirely in the northern and western hemispheres. The majority of its landmass lies north of the equator and west of the prime meridian.
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significance, but it's in the Gulf of Guinea, about 380 miles (611 kilometers) south of Accra, Ghana and 670 miles (1078 km) west of the coast of Gabon.
The coordinates provided, 32 degrees south latitude and 116 degrees east longitude, point to the city of Perth, Australia. Latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. By combining these coordinates, we can pinpoint the exact location of a place on the Earth's surface.
North America is almost entirely in the northern and western hemispheres. The only part of North America that is in the eastern hemisphere is the western part of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.
Europe is almost entirely in the northern ANDWestern hemisphere.
Brazil is located in the western, northern and southern hemispheres. The Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn pass through Brazil. It covers almost 50 percent of South America. The longitude and latitude of Brazil are 10 degrees South and 55 degrees West.
The earth is almost spherical. So if you travel north from the equator you are on a circular path (a line of longitude), and distance around a circle is measured in degrees. The north pole is at 90 degrees north (so 60 degrees is two thirse the way). Similarly if you travel east, you are going around a circle parallel to the equator. Zero degrees is traditionally at Greenwich in London, England. So 50 degrees east is 50 degrees around this circle (of latitude). All lines of longitude meet at the poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the equator (which is zero latitude).

Yes, part of Brazil is located in the northern hemisphere. But that's not all. The country is so large that it actually is located in the western, northern and southern hemispheres. The Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn pass through Brazil. It covers almost 50 percent of South America. The longitude and latitude of Brazil are 10 degrees South and 55 degrees West.
Africa is the continent bisected into almost two equal parts by the equator.
Aruba's geographic coordinates are 12 degrees 30 minutes North latitude and 69 degrees 58 minutes West longitude. It's in the northern hemisphere at 12 degrees north of the Equator. It's in the western hemisphere at almost 70 degrees west of the Prime [Greenwich] Meridian in England.
Yes. Kenya extends almost equal distances north and south of the equator ... from about 4.63° north latitude to 4.67° south latitude.
80 degrees north latitude is in the Arctic Ocean at almost any longitude. 80N passes through northern Greenland, an island in northern Canada, and an island in Russia, but mostly it's the Arctic Ocean.
The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and is the halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole. The Equator experiences almost equal hours of daylight and darkness throughout the year.
Temperature and latitude are inversely related - generally, as you move closer to the equator (lower latitudes), temperatures tend to be higher, while as you move towards the poles (higher latitudes), temperatures tend to be lower. This relationship is due to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface, with more direct sunlight at lower latitudes leading to higher temperatures.
Using angular coordinates of latitude (degrees north or south of the equator) and longitude (degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England) we can designate any spot on the surface of the almost-spherical Earth with whatever precision we desire. It is an unambguous location that anybody can refer to and get the same answer.
