What is a hemishpere?
A hemisphere is half of a sphere or globe, divided by an imaginary plane passing through its center. In geography, it typically refers to one of the two halves of the Earth divided by the Equator (Northern and Southern Hemispheres). In anatomy, it can refer to the cerebrum of the brain, which is divided into two halves (left and right hemispheres).
Does the earth sit in the middle of the equator?
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.
What do we call the imaginary extension of earth's equator into space?
The imaginary extension of Earth's equator into space is called the celestial equator. It is an imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's equator, dividing the celestial sphere into northern and southern hemispheres.
What is the opposite of the prime Meridian?
Since it is an imaginary line on the map that divides the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere, there can be no opposite. There is another, however, and it is an imaginary line on a star map that separates the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere of stars.

When a plane flies from Australia to Mexico will it pass the equator?
Correct. Mexico is on the Northern Hemisphere, while Australia is on the Southern Hemisphere. Any trip from one country to the other will invariably pass through the Equator.
If a plane flew from from Australia to Mexico it would go over the equator true or false?
True: Australia is on the Southern Hemisphere, while Mexico is on the Northern Hemisphere.
What is a heimisphere?
A hemisphere is a half of a sphere or a celestial body, divided by an imaginary plane. It is commonly used to refer to the halves of Earth divided by the equator into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere or by the Prime Meridian into the Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere.
Where are the southern and northern hemispheres located?
The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the world (through the center) along an East/ West plane. Everything north of the line makes up the northern hemisphere, while everything falling south of the line makes up the southern hemisphere

What is the dfinision of hemisphere?
A hemisphere is half of a sphere, divided by a plane passing through its center. It can refer to half of the Earth divided by the equator into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, or it can refer to half of a spherical object or structure.
What is inclination and declination?
Inclination is measured as the angle at which the satellite crosses the equator while passing from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. Declination is the difference between magnetic North as reported by a compass and true North.
If you are traveling from North America to Europe will you cross the equtaor?
Oh honey, the equator is nowhere near North America or Europe. You'll have to fly a bit further south to hit that imaginary line dividing the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. So, unless your plane takes a detour to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, you can leave your equator-crossing dreams at home.
Explain how one place can be located in either the northern or southern hemisphere and the eastern or western hemisphere?
The equator divides the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere. Therefore any nation or city that lies on the equator contains areas that are in one or the other of the two hemispheres. Kenya in Africa is located in both hemispheres. In South America Ecuador is in both hemispheres among other nations. As for "eastern and western hemispheres" I believe that there is no accepted definition for those terms. However, the "Western World" is considered to be the continents of North America and South America. There is, however no geometric plane that cuts through the earth vertically the way that the equator cuts through the earth
What is a hemisphere?
A hemisphere is half of a sphere.The names comes from hemi- which means half, so hemisphere means half a sphere.We often talk about the northern and southern hemispheres which are the halves of our planet north and south of the equator respectively. Similarly, we have the eastern and western hemispheres, the halves of the globe that are either east or west of the prime meridian.The definition is:1. A half sphere; one half of a sphere or globe, when divided by a plane passing through its center.2. Half of the terrestrial globe, or a projection of the same in a map or picture. The most common hemispheric divisions are Northern / Southern and Eastern / Western.i.e The United States is located in both the western and the northern hemispheres of the Earth.
Is earth the only planet with a southern hemisphere?
Every planet rotates about an axis, so it has an equator in the plane normal to the line between the poles. Every planet is spherical and therefore it can be divided arbitrarily into two hemispheres. If the division is done by the equator, there is a north hemisphere and a south hemisphere.
Which will occur in December an Equinox or Solstice?
The December Solstice occurs in December. It marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day and shortest night in the Southern Hemisphere. The Equinox occurs around March and September when day and night are of equal length.
