Western Hemisphere

1. Earth's shadow on the moon (at lunar eclipse) is always circular.

2. The position of the sun and the stars depends on the position on earth, thus earth has to be curved.

3. Magellan sailed around Earth.

4. Yuri Gagarin orbited Earth in space.

5. Pictures of Earth taken from the Moon impressively demonstrate the shape of Earth

6. The rotation of Earth can be proven with Foucault's pendulum

7. Astronomical observations show that all the other planets are spheres, it is very likely that the Earth is a sphere too

Regarding Paris, France: The city is in the northern and eastern Hemispheres,

or, the northeastern 'quarter-sphere' if you will.

In low latitudes, rain is formed through the process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Warm air rises near the equator, carrying moisture with it. As the air cools at higher altitudes, the moisture condenses into water droplets, forming clouds. When the droplets become too heavy, they fall as rain.

Vietnam is located in the eastern hemisphere.

Natural forces such as climate change are expected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events in the western hemisphere, including more severe hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. Rising sea levels due to melting ice caps could also threaten coastal regions in the western hemisphere. Additionally, shifts in ecosystems and species distributions may occur as temperatures and precipitation patterns change.

Some mapmakers divide the eastern and western hemispheres at 20 degrees west because it coincides with the Prime Meridian, which was established by the International Meridian Conference in 1884. This line runs through Greenwich, London, and is a widely-recognized reference point for measuring longitude.

North America, Europe, and Asia are continents that are primarily located in the Northern Hemisphere.

They are both the same size, but the Eastern hemisphere has more land mass.

The eastern hemisphere is larger than the western hemisphere. The eastern hemisphere contains parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica, while the western hemisphere includes parts of North and South America.

Yes, Texas has done Daylight Saving Time every year since 1918.

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.

The eastern and western hemispheres each measure 180 degrees in longitude.

You're free to draw as few or as many 'lines' in that range as you feel you need,

and to number them appropriately according to the position of each 'line'.

The United States proclaimed itself as the protector of the Western Hemisphere through the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. The doctrine stated that the Americas were off-limits for European colonization and that any interference would be seen as a threat to U.S. security.

South America including Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil.

Western Oregon receives more precipitation than western Texas. Oregon's climate is influenced by the Pacific Ocean, resulting in higher levels of annual rainfall compared to the more arid climate of western Texas.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Daylight Saving Time Energy Act on January 20, 1942. The act was implemented during World War II to conserve energy resources.

The Olmecs preceded the Toltecs who preceded the Aztecs.

I would nominate the Mayan civilization which was far more widespread and lasted much longer. Even after they went into decline, their influence continued to be felt for hundreds of years afterward.
