Hemisphere. Earth has a North and a South Hemisphere
The equator divides the earth into the north and south hemispheres.
A sphere that's cut in half o.o
the northern hemisphere the other half the south hemisphere
The earth has a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere. The dividing line between these two halves of the globe is the Equator. Parallel to the Equator are lines of Latitude. These are measured in degrees north or south of the equator. The expression, "North of 60." refers to a position or area on the Earth that is north of the 60° line of latitude. Countries such Greenland, Iceland and Finland are completely North of 60°. Most of Alaska, Norway and Sweden are in this zone and about half of Canada and Russia. The Arctic continent is substantially beyond 60° north.
Find the volume for the whole sphere (4/3 x pi x radius cubed) then divide by two.
A hemisphere is one half of the sphere that makes up Earth's surface.
Half of a sphere is called a "hemisphere". For example, on Earth, the northern hemisphere is everything north of the equator.
NOrt America is in the northern hemisphere (half a sphere in greek) and south america is in the southern if you look in a map, the top half of the earth is the northern hemisp´here, the bottom is the southern.
Half of any sphere is a 'hemisphere'. In the case of the equator, the halves north and south of it are called the Earth's 'northern hemisphere' and 'southern hemisphere'.
Hemisphere means half of a sphere or globe. It is used to describe half of a celestial object or planet. Earth is divided into a north and south hemisphere by the equator, and lines of longitude bisect Earth from north to south separating the west hemisphere (containing the Americas) from the east hemisphere (containing Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe).

it is winter in the north and summer in the south.
The equator divides the earth into the north and south hemispheres.
a Hemisphere
A hemisphere is half of a sphere.The names comes from hemi- which means half, so hemisphere means half a sphere.We often talk about the northern and southern hemispheres which are the halves of our planet north and south of the equator respectively. Similarly, we have the eastern and western hemispheres, the halves of the globe that are either east or west of the prime meridian.The definition is:1. A half sphere; one half of a sphere or globe, when divided by a plane passing through its center.2. Half of the terrestrial globe, or a projection of the same in a map or picture. The most common hemispheric divisions are Northern / Southern and Eastern / Western.i.e The United States is located in both the western and the northern hemispheres of the Earth.
