Most of the land on the earth is in the northern hemisphere.
Of the 7 continents, 3 are entirely in the Northern hemisphere and 2 more have significant portions north of the equator.
north
90% of all people live north of the equator.
The northern hemisphere encompasses 50% (1/2) of the earth's surface.
There are different entries on this answer, but to be honest, without Antarctica, then 78% of land mass is above the equator
about 88%

The only equator is the equator of the Earth, that is, its center line which is half way between the north pole and the south pole. Australia (which means 'south place') is well south of the equator.
Half of any sphere is a 'hemisphere'. In the case of the equator, the halves north and south of it are called the Earth's 'northern hemisphere' and 'southern hemisphere'.
The Earth has an equator. The equator goes around the middle of the Earth. The equator is the circular line that goes around the Earth that is half way between the North and South poles. The equator is defined by the Earth's rotation and for that matter so are the locations of the North and South poles. Even without the Sun as a guide, we would know there was an axis of rotation and so we would be able to define the mid-plane perpendicular to that axis half way between the two ends.
The Northern Hemisphere.
The equator is the line that runs straight around the middle of the earth, at zero degrees of latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees north and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south, so they are both equidistant from the equator. The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude that runs around the earth at 66 degrees and 33 minutes north, that means that it is closer to the equator than the South Pole.
Equator
You get the north hemisphere and the south hemisphere.
The equator divides the earth into the north and south hemispheres.
The only equator is the equator of the Earth, that is, its center line which is half way between the north pole and the south pole. Australia (which means 'south place') is well south of the equator.
Half way would be the Equator (zero latitude).
To the north of the equator is the northern hemisphere, and to the south is the Southern Hemisphere.
The half of the Earth's surface that is north of the equator is called the Northern Hemisphere, while the half south of the equator is the Southern Hemisphere.
The Earth is split into two hemispheres based on the Equator. The North Pole is in the Northern Hemisphere. With the South Pole is in the Southern Hemisphere.
The furthest distance from north to south (on the earth) would be the distance from the north pole to the south pole, or half of the earth's polar circumference. It's about 12,400 miles, just a little bit less than half-way around the equator.
