The northern and southern Hemispheres each comprise 90 degrees of latitude.
On your map or globe, you're free to draw as few or as many lines as you'd like
to see in that range. There is no standard set of 'lines'.
0 degrees is the equator, the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. 0 degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian, the starting point for measuring longitude and the line that divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere.
there are ninety lines in each hemisphere There are 90 degrees of latitude in the northern Hemisphere, and another 90 in the southern one. There are 180 degrees of longitude in the eastern Hemisphere, and another 180 in the western one. In each hemisphere, you're free to draw as few or as many lines in that range of numbers as you want to see. There's no standard set of 'lines' that everybody must use. Some maps and globes have more lines on them, some have fewer, some don't have any at all. Would you go into the hardware store and ask the man "How many lines are there on the tape measure ?" ?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
You could be in the Eurocentric hemisphere or the Afrocentric one.
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
one degree, about 111 kilometers at the equator.
The Indian Ocean is not in the western hemisphere. Any ocean that is east of zero degrees and one hundred and eight degrees longitude is, by definition, an eastern ocean.
0 degrees is the equator, the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. 0 degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian, the starting point for measuring longitude and the line that divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere.
The ' N ' in the latitude indicates the Northern hemisphere,and the ' W ' in the longitude indicates the Western one.
Technically, they all do, but the prime meridian is the one that's recognized.

A latitude on the northern hemisphere and longitude on the eastern hemipshere accounts for one quarter of the planet which includes eastern Europe, middle east, India and Asia. The particular city depends on the specific values of "b" for latitude and "a" for longitude.
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
You could be in the Eurocentric hemisphere or the Afrocentric one.
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
The Prime Meridian, ie 0 degrees Longitude, runs through the London Borough of Greenwich. You can visit the site and stand with one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere.
There are 24 time zones. Divide 360 degrees longitude by 24 and you get 15 degrees for each one-hour time zone.
