The longitude called the Prime Meridian divides the globe into eastern and western hemispheres.
Could not the Equator enter into the equation?
I thinking the equator has something to do withit.
imani0906:
we divide the earth into hemispheres in north,south,east and west
northern and southern hemispheres
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
The equator and the lines of longitude.
On the earth (and planetary/stellar bodies) they are called latitudes and longitudes.
Geographers and sailors created a system of imaginary lines to locate places on the globe. One set of lines runs east and west, parallel with the equator. The other set of lines divide the earth into sections from one pole to the other. If you know which latitude line and which longitude line runs across a given place, you can find that place on a map by looking at the longitude and latitude lines on a map.

To give the global address of the United States you can say in which hemispheres or halves of earth it lies geographer use two imaginary lines to divide earth into hemispheres

the one that divides the western and eastern hemispheres is the prime meridian and the one that divides the northern and southern is the equator
The ansewer is the equater

equator
false
it would be the equator
The equator breaks the Earth up into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The prime meridian breaks up Earth into the Western and Eastern hemispheres.
latitude lines I think
