We learned that we can
divide the world in half, two different ways. Any place above the
equator is in the Northern Hemisphere. Any place below the
equator is in the Southern Hemisphere.
We can also divide the
world in half another way, separating east from west. Any
place to the left of the Prime Meridian is in the Western Hemisphere,
while any place to the right of the Prime Meridian is in the Eastern
Hemisphere.
