What is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres?

The imaginary line is the equator, which runs east and west around the center of the globe.

The equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at 0° degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox.

Locations on the surface are defined by their angular distance north or south of the equator, which is latitude, and by their angular distance east or west of an arbitrary north-south line (the Prime Meridian) which is longitude.

What hemisphere has more land?

Scientists now believe that at one point, several billion years ago, there was only one continent, which we call Pangea. Because of plate tectonics, which is the movement of the plates making up the crust of the Earth, that super continent has broken up, and parts of it are drifting erratically around the Earth. It is purely chance that so much continental crust is concentrated in one hemisphere.
