On Which Two Hemispheres Do We Live?

On Which Two Hemispheres Do We Live?

We live in North America, so we live in the Northern and Western Hemispheres.

What are the two hemispheres of the Earth?

The Equator, or line of 0 degrees latitude, divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The Northern Hemisphere contains North America, the northern part of South America, Europe, the northern two-thirds of Africa, and most of Asia.

What 2 hemispheres do most people live in?

The results are not terribly surprising: Most people live in the northern hemisphere and eastern hemispheres, which puts the lion's share of the world's population… squarely in Asia. Some of this is the fault of geography—there's simply more land north of the equator than south of it.
