Antarctica is in the Southern Hemisphere. However some of South America is in the NORTHERN hemisphere because the equator passes across South America through Ecuador and Brazil.

How many continents are part of the Western Hemisphere?

Arguably, all continents but Australia are a part of the Western Hemisphere. This means Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, and South America are a part of the Western Hemisphere; South America is the only continent fully in the Western Hemisphere. However, Australia is usually included with Oceania as a continent, and the region of Oceania is a part of the Western Hemisphere, so technically, all continents are a part of the Western Hemisphere.

What two hemispheres is south America mostly located in?

Both continents are located in what is called the Western Hemisphere. North America is the continent where it's northernmost islands are within the Arctic Circle, and extends south to near the Tropic of Cancer. Central America is the thin strip of land that conjoins North America to South America and runs through the Tropic of Cancer. South of that is South America, which has a similar shape to that of Africa except there is no significant horn on the eastern edge of the continent. The Equator runs through the northern part of South America, through the northern part of Brazil and southern part of Columbia. The Tropic of Capricorn runs through the southern half of the continent. The southernmost tip of South America is near Antarctica, but never close enough to be near the Antarctic Circle or South Pole. If you want a short answer, look at a world map!
