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.
