any help would be nice

Answer 1

The zero degree meridian is the line of longitude which goes through Greenwich, London. So the eastern hemisphere is eastwards from Greenwich to the 180 degree line of longitude, through Russia. The western hemisphere is westwards from Greenwich through Canada to the 180 degree line. Of course, any other longitude could equally well have been chosen as zero degrees. It's just that when the system was devised, Britannia ruled the waves. To start with, several other European countries had their own system, with the zero meridian going through their own capital city.

The problem with this designation is that it excludes Africa and Australia. Hey, what about Antarctica?
