The Prime Meridian is one of the of two boundaries between the Eastern and Western hemispheres (the other is the 180° meridian at the International Date Line). So the meridian itself could be considered in both or in neither.
In latitude, the Prime Meridian extends from the North Pole to the South Pole, so it runs through both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, having exactly half of its length in each.
The three countries that lie entirely west of the Prime Meridian are the United States, Canada, and Brazil. These countries are positioned in the western hemisphere, meaning their entire landmass is located to the west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England.
The area of the globe located east of the prime meridian is called the Eastern Hemisphere. This hemisphere encompasses roughly half of the Earth's surface and includes continents such as Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.

No. The international prime meridian passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. There's nothing in principle stopping an Asian country from declaring its own prime meridian passing wherever it wants it to be, but they'd be different from the standardized maps of almost all other nations if they did so.
Lake Baikal, Russia is in the Northern Hemisphere as it is North of the Equator. Also, it is in the Eastern Hemisphere as it is to the East of the Prime Meridian.
The Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, divides the eastern and western hemispheres of the Earth. When standing at the Prime Meridian, countries to the east are in the Eastern Hemisphere and countries to the west are in the Western Hemisphere.
Some Eastern countries in the Southern Hemisphere include Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Indonesia. These countries are located east of the Prime Meridian and south of the Equator.
The three countries that lie entirely west of the Prime Meridian are the United States, Canada, and Brazil. These countries are positioned in the western hemisphere, meaning their entire landmass is located to the west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England.
A hemisphere is a section of the Earth located north/south or between two major lines of latitude or longitude. The Northern Hemisphere is located north of the Equator. The Southern Hemisphere is located south of the Equator. The Western Hemisphere is located west of the Prime Meridian and east of the International Dateline. The Eastern Hemisphere is located east of the Prime Meridian and west of the International Dateline.
The Prime Meridian, which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole passing through Greenwich, England, divides the Earth into the eastern and western hemispheres. Countries located to the east of the Prime Meridian are considered part of the Western Hemisphere, while those to the west are part of the Eastern Hemisphere.
The southernmost land crossed by the Prime Meridian is the Antarctic continent, but there are no countries there. The southernmost country on the Prime Meridian is Ghana.
Argentina is located in the western hemisphere. Its longitudes are situated to the west of the Prime Meridian.
The Prime Meridian and the meridian of 180° longitude, together, do.
The area of the globe located east of the prime meridian is called the Eastern Hemisphere. This hemisphere encompasses roughly half of the Earth's surface and includes continents such as Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.
The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, London, and serves as the starting point for measuring longitude. Since it passes through Greenwich, the Prime Meridian is located in the Eastern Hemisphere.
The prime meridian separates the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western Hemisphere.
The prime meridian divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
