Detailed explanation-1: -An equator is an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body. It is halfway between the north pole and the south pole, at 0 degrees latitude. An equator divides the planet into a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Northern Hemisphere is certainly that half of the Earth which lies to the equator’s north. In contrast, Southern Hemisphere lies to the south of the planet Earth’s equator. Moreover, there are some continents have parts in both the hemispheres. Europe and North America lie completely in the northern hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Prime Meridian divides the globe into Eastern and Western hemispheres, just as the equator divides the globe into Northern and Southern hemispheres. The Prime Meridian is at 0 degrees longitude, just as the equator is at 0 degrees latitude.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lines of latitude start at 0 degrees at the Equator and ends at 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. Everything north of the Equator is known as the Northern Hemisphere and can be denoted as 0∘−90∘N.
