The equator is an imaginary line running around the widest part of the Earth, halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole. North of the Equator, you're in the Northern Hemisphere. South of the Equator, you're in the Southern Hemisphere. North America, Europe, Africa and Asia are mostly in the Northern Hemisphere.
The world is divided into four hemispheres based on lines of latitude and longitude. The equator is an imaginary line that is equidistant from the North and South Poles. This line falls at zero degrees latitude. The part of the Earth that is north of the equator is known as the Northern Hemisphere. The part of the Earth that is south of the equator is known as the Southern Hemisphere. The Western and Eastern Hemisphere are divided by zero degrees longitude which is known as the Prime Meridian.
