The Equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at zero degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox.
The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept.
The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which seperates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude.
The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line are the two lines that separate the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.
The equator separates the world into the northern hemispher and the southern hemisphere.
No, the equator is a line of 0 degrees latitude that divides the Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, separates the eastern and western hemispheres.
Yes, the equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. Locations north of the equator are in the northern hemisphere, while locations south of the equator are in the southern hemisphere.
Trade winds blow from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are typically found between 30 and 60 degrees latitude, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they occur between 0 and 30 degrees latitude.
You can't have four hemispheres on one sphere unless they overlap. The usual divisions are into the Northern and Southern hemispheres (divided, sensibly enough, by the equator) or the Eastern and Western hemispheres (divided by the great circle which contains the Prime Meridian).
The Equator.
The equator separates the world into the northern hemispher and the southern hemisphere.
The line of latitude that separates the northern and southern hemispheres is called the equator. It is situated at 0 degrees latitude and runs around the widest part of the Earth's circumference.
The Equator separates northern and southern hemispheres.
The equator is the imaginary line that separates the world into the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and runs east-west.
The Equator (zero latitude) separates the Southern Hemisphere from the Northern Hemisphere.The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) separates the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western Hemisphere.
No, the equator is a line of 0 degrees latitude that divides the Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, separates the eastern and western hemispheres.

Greece is in the northern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is north of the equator. The southern hemisphere is south of the equator. You can find this out on a map and/or with latitude or longitude.

It is the Equator (zero latitude) that divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres.
Yes, the equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. Locations north of the equator are in the northern hemisphere, while locations south of the equator are in the southern hemisphere.
