No. Sorry. Wrong on all counts. The equator is a zero-degrees-latitude line

that separates the northern hemisphere from the southern.

And you misspelled "separates" too.

What parts can earth be divided into?

The main four divisions are: The Equator (zero Latitude) separates the World into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian (zero Longitude) separates the World into the Western Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere.


What are the four hemispheres and what important lines of latitude and longitude separates them?

You can't have four hemispheres on one sphere unless they overlap. The usual divisions are into the Northern and Southern hemispheres (divided, sensibly enough, by the equator) or the Eastern and Western hemispheres (divided by the great circle which contains the Prime Meridian).


What longitudes begin just to the east of the prime meridian and continue eastward to 180 degrees longitude?

It is known as the Eastern Hemisphere, with lines of longitude easterly from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) to the Datum Line of 180 degrees longitude. In the opposite direction from the Prime Meridian is the Western Hemisphere. To the north of the Equator is the Northern Hemisphere, and to the south of the Equator is the Southern Hemisphere.


What two lines are baselines for measurements on Earth?

The Equator (zero latitude) that separates the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) that separates the Western and the Eastern Hemispheres.


What is the line of latitude that separates the north and south hemisphere?

There is one line, the equator, that separates the northern from the southern hemisphere. The Greenwich Meridian and International dateline form a circle that separates the western from the eastern hemisphere. These are the standard hemisphere divisions of the globe, but every meridian circle divides the globe into 2 halves.

What is the Equator and the Prime Meridian?

The equator is an imaginary line that runs from East to West in the center of the world. It separates the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere.The prime meridian is another imaginary line that runs North to South in the center of the world. It separates the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western Hemisphere.
