There are 4 hemispheres. Northern Hemisphere Southern Hemisphere Eastern Hemisphere Western Hemisphere

Imaginary lines: There are 2 main imaginary lines that divide the hemispheres. 1. Equator 2. Prime Meridian

NORTH SOUTH * Everything above the line is NORTH EQUATOR: Divides the earth into northern and southern hemispheres * Everything above the line is NORTH * Everything below the line is SOUTH NORTHERN HEMISPHERE NORTH SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SOUTH

WEST EAST * Everything right of the line is EAST PRIME MERIDIAN: Divides the earth into eastern and western hemispheres * Everything right of the line is EAST * Everything left of the line is WEST WESTERN HEMISPHERE EASTERN HEMISPHERE WEST EAST
