The Prime Meridian effectively divides the continent of Antarctica in half. Since prime meridians are arbitrary this is based on the Greenwich Prime Meridian.
Africa
Great Britain
No, a continent is not larger than a hemisphere. A hemisphere refers to half of the Earth, divided either by the equator or the prime meridian, while a continent is a large landmass on Earth. Therefore, a continent is smaller than a hemisphere.
I'm not sure it's exactly 50-50, but you're describing Antarctica.
The Prime Meridian is complete exactly as it appears on maps and globes. It forms a half-circle, and it isn't missing anything. When joined with the Prime Meridian, the 180-degree meridian of longitude forms a complete great circle.
The Prime Meridian and 180° longitude are half-a-world apart.So 11 AM at 180° corresponds to 11 PM on the Prime Meridian.
A hemisphere is half of the Earth's surface divided by the equator into Northern and Southern Hemispheres or by the Prime Meridian into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. A continent is a large, continuous landmass on Earth, such as Africa or North America, made up of multiple countries and regions. Each continent can span multiple hemispheres.
It is sometimes called the Greenwich meridian or 0° longitude.
No. The meridian of 180° longitude ... exactly opposite the Prime Meridian and half a world away ... runs through the Aleutian chain.
Yes and no! The Prime Meridian is the technical term for the line of longitude (0º) which passes through Greenwich, UK.
Half of the Prime Meridian is in the northern hemisphere, and half of it is in the southern one. Also, it is half of the boundary line between the eastern and western hemispheres, so it's in either both or neither of those.
Northern and southern half of the earth divided by the equator. Eastern and western half of the earth divided by a meridian.
