Since the earth is a sphere (a ball), you can reach any country in the world by

heading west from the Prime Meridian.

The earth is often regarded in terms of the two Hemispheres, each beginning at the

Prime Merridian and extensing 180 degrees in longitude from it.

The countries in the western Hemisphere include all of North America, South America,

Iceland, Greenland, Portugal, and Ireland, as well as all or part of a number of

African countries, the UK, Spain, and France.
