What percentage of land is in the northern hemisphere?

The Southern hemisphere is about 80.9% water and 19.1% land.
What two hemispheres have seasons?
As seasons are the result of the rotation of the Earth around the sun, all of the hemispheres: North and South/ East and West have seasons.
The east and west hemispheres are the ones that are split into two seasons at a single given moment.
Each of the two days of the year when neither hemisphere is tilted toward or away from the sun?
The two days of the year when neither hemisphere is tilted toward or away from the sun are the equinoxes. These occur around March 20th and September 22nd each year. During the equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal in length all over the world.
Where is annual temperature range greatest?
in the US it is Fairbanks, Alaska. Average January temp is -9.7 F. Average July temperature is 62.4 F.
Greatest seasonal temperature range on earth is in Siberia, where it ranges from 70 to -70 F. This is due to its continentality- it's landlocked.
It would depend on the particular map you are using, but in my experience brown usually represents mountains/hills and is therefore usually higher than the green used to depict grasslands at lower altitude.

When it's summer in New York City where is it winter?
New York City is in the Northern Hemisphere (above the Equator). When it's summer in New York City, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere (below the Equator).
The Equator is an imaginary line that goes around the Earth's middle, and divides it into a top half and a bottom half. The Northern Hemisphere is the top half, and the Southern Hemisphere is the bottom half.
The Northern and Southern Hemispheres have opposite seasons: when it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and when it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere. When it's spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it's autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, and when it's spring in the Southern Hemisphere, it's autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

Where is it dark half the year?
The regions near the North and South Poles experience darkness for half the year due to the phenomenon known as polar night. During winter, the Earth's axial tilt causes these areas to be tilted away from the sun, leading to continuous darkness for several months.

What are the culture regions of the western hemisphere?
By what I know, I hear the western hemisphere is just as the northern and the southern, I'm not very sure, but I have family from there and they tell me it is just the same because of climate and landscapes. I also hear that it does transport many crops to America. Well, I hope this was helpful, please don't leave anything rude, happy i can help! :D
