A hemisphere is a geometric term that literally means "half ball", and in geography the term is used when dividing the Earth into two halves. The most obvious dividing line is the equator, creating the northern and southern hemispheres. THE US IS IN THE WESTERNE HEMISPHERE. THE WESTERNE HEMISPHERE CONSISTS OF NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA AND THE ISLANDS AROUND THEM AND IS DEFINED BY THE LINE WEST OF THE PRIME MERIDIAN Any definition of eastern and western hemispheres, however, requires the selection of an arbitrary meridian and a corresponding meridian on the other side of the Earth. The Prime Meridian at 0° longitude is typically used, which runs through Greenwich (London) in the United Kingdom; this is used to define the International Date Line (or End Meridian) on the other side of the Earth at 180° longitude.

Both. Part of the Aleutian Chain in Alaska crosses the International Date Line making it part of the Eastern Hemisphere.

In the western hemisphere. Actually, this is an arbitrary name, since whether we go east or west from the eastern hemisphere, we reach the western hemisphere.
