what does hemisphere mean?

Question

what does it mean because i`m in the library and whenever i try to look it up the internet explorer just automaticly disappears.

Answer 1

half of the terrestrial globe or celestial sphere, esp. one of the halves into which the earth is divided. Compare Eastern Hemisphere, Western Hemisphere, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere.
2. a map or projection representing one of these halves.
3. a half of a sphere.

Answer 2

From what I can remember, Hemisphere means "half sphere" or "half ball." The world is divided into hemispheres, North and South as well as West and East, but a more general definition would relate to the equal halves of a sphere.

I don't know what you're looking for specifically, but that's the best I can do with what you asked...

Answer 3

Hemisphere literally means "half sphere." For instance, the world is divided into Northern Hemisphere and Northern Hemisphere. I'm not sure that you can say that there is a western and eastern hemisphere because the US could be the eastern hemisphere of Europe, but Europe is the eastern hemisphere to the US. Idk.
