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.

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.
The term that indicates imaginary parallel lines that circle the Earth is "latitude." Latitude lines run horizontally around the globe, measuring the distance north or south of the Equator. These lines are used in geographic coordinate systems to help locate positions on the Earth's surface.
On the earth (and planetary/stellar bodies) they are called latitudes and longitudes.
Prime Meridian
The two imaginary lines that divide the Earth into hemispheres are the Equator, which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
The two imaginary lines that divide the earth in half are the Equator (divides the earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres) and the Prime Meridian (divides the earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres).
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 ansewer is the equater
The Prime Meridian and the Equator divide the Earth into four quadrants or hemispheres. The Prime Meridian divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, while the Equator divides it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The Prime Meridian and the Equator
Meridians
The two main imaginary lines on Earth are the Equator, which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
The two imaginary dividing lines of the hemisphere are the equator, which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
They are called the lines of longitude. Lines of longitude range from 0 degrees on the prime meridian to 180 degrees.
