The equator divides the earth into the northern and the southern hemispheres, and the prime meridian divides the earth into the eastern and western hemispheres. Disregarding the earth's variance from being a perfect sphere, any great circle route will define a plane that divides the earth into two hemispheres. The earth is close to being a sphere, but is closer to being an oblate spheroid.
