what hemisphere do we live in?

Answer 1

It depends on where you live.

If you are south of the equator in Argentina or Australia for example you live in the Southern Hemisphere.

If you are north of the equator in the US, England, Germany, Japan for example you live in the Northern Hemisphere.

Also
If you are west of the Prime Meridian and east of the 180th longitude (the international date line more or less) in Spain, the US, or Brazil for example you are in the Western Hemisphere.

If you are east of the Prime Meridian and west of the 180th longitude in Germany, India, or New Zealand for example, you are in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Answer 2

The Western Hemisphere

Answer 3

I live in the Northern Hemisphere

Answer 4

Note how most of the land of earth is above the equator, in the Northern Hemisphere. I have no explanation for why this is, but it probably explains why most maps of the world are oriented with the North side up. People don't like to look down on themselves.

The majority of land and hence the majority of the world's population is in the Northern Hemisphere, so we tend to orient world maps with North at the top.

This also explains why globes are oriented with the North Pole upwards, as this makes it easier to see most of the land. If a globe was mounted with the South Pole upwards then most of the land would be on the underside of the globe and we'd all be bending over to see the land.

People also like to place themselves in the center, so world maps made by Europeans place Europe in the center, as we have above, while world maps made by Americans place America in the center. Known as the cartographic "rule of ethnocentricity," the placement of one's own territory at the center of a world map is an almost-universal feature of cartographic devices, including cosmic diagrams of pre-Columbian North American Indians; ancient Babylonia, Greece, and China; and the medieval maps of the Islamic world or Christian Europe.1

Both xD My Mom is originally from the Northern and my Dad from the Southern, and (economical) circumstances has forced our family (that was previously living in the North) to split up and now me and my Mom live in the Southern, and go to live with Dad in the Northern every three months. It's a long story.. blah, blah. You're welcome to write my flippn' biography- it'll give you a headache.

Answer 8

I live in Cydonia, which is in the northern hemisphere (of Mars, of course.) What part of Mars do you live in? Then I can tell you which hemisphere it is in.

Answer 9

Wouldn't your question make a LOT more sense if you told us where you lived? If you live in China, the answer will be different, than if you live in Florida.

Answer 10
