The Earth’s hemisphere is an imaginary division of the Earth into two halves: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

This division is based on the equator, which is an imaginary line that horizontally traverses the planet.

  • The Northern Hemisphere is located above the equator.
  • The Southern Hemisphere is located below it.

Each hemisphere has its own climatic and seasonal characteristics as they receive different amounts of sunlight and experience different seasons at opposite times. This division helps understand the geographical distribution and regional differences on our planet.
