HEMISPHERE FINDER

Find out which hemisphere any place on Earth is in — instantly.

Use this Hemisphere Finder to check whether a city, coordinate, or your current location lies in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, and the Eastern or Western Hemisphere. Designed for students, travellers, educators, and geography enthusiasts, this tool gives clear, accurate hemisphere results without guesswork

Hemisphere Finder

Find out which hemisphere any place is in — Northern / Southern and Eastern / Western. Search a city, paste coordinates, or use your current location.

Tip: You can paste coordinates in many formats: 52.3676, 4.9041 or 52.3676 N 4.9041 E.

What is a hemisphere?

A hemisphere is one half of a sphere. For Earth, we most commonly talk about four geographic hemispheres: Northern and Southern (divided by the Equator), and Eastern and Western (divided by the Prime Meridian and its opposite line at 180°).

How the Hemisphere Finder works

  • Latitude determines North vs South (positive = North, negative = South).
  • Longitude determines East vs West (positive = East, negative = West).
  • Special cases: 0° latitude lies on the Equator; 0° longitude lies on the Prime Meridian.

Once you know a place’s hemisphere, you can explore its exact opposite point using the Antipode Map or Antipode Finder.

FAQ

Can a place be in more than one hemisphere?
Yes. Most locations are in two hemispheres at once: one for latitude (North/South) and one for longitude (East/West). Places on the Equator or Prime Meridian sit exactly on a boundary.
What if my location is on the Equator or Prime Meridian?
If latitude is 0°, the location is on the Equator (neither North nor South). If longitude is 0°, it is on the Prime Meridian (a reference boundary for East/West).
Does “Eastern / Western Hemisphere” always use 0° longitude?
Commonly, yes: East/West is referenced from the Prime Meridian (0°). Some contexts use different conventions, but for everyday geography this is the standard interpretation.

ANTIPODE FAQ

What hemisphere am I in right now?

Your hemisphere depends on your latitude and longitude. Locations north of the Equator are in the Northern Hemisphere, while those south are in the Southern Hemisphere. East and West are determined by longitude relative to the Prime Meridian. This tool can detect your current location instantly.
Can a place be in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres?

Yes. Locations that sit directly on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) lie on the boundary between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Most places fall clearly into one or the other, but boundary locations technically touch both.
Is the Equator the only line that defines hemispheres?

The Equator defines the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Eastern and Western Hemispheres are defined by the Prime Meridian and the 180° meridian on the opposite side of Earth.
Are hemispheres the same as continents?

No. Hemispheres are based on global reference lines, not landmasses. A single continent can span multiple hemispheres — for example, Africa crosses both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, as well as the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Why do some countries exist in more than one hemisphere?

Large countries or those near the Equator or Prime Meridian may extend across hemisphere boundaries. As a result, different parts of the same country can belong to different hemispheres.
