Dividing the Earth into different hemispheres helps us understand and talk about different parts of our planet. Imagine cutting the Earth into two halves, just like slicing an orange. These halves are called the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Dividir la Tierra en diferentes hemisferios nos ayuda a comprender y hablar sobre las diferentes partes de nuestro planeta. Imagínese cortar la Tierra en dos mitades, como cortar una naranja. Estas mitades se llaman hemisferio norte y hemisferio sur.


The Earth is also divided into two more halves when we cut it from the top to the bottom, like splitting a watermelon. These specific halves are known as the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
La Tierra se divide en dos mitades más cuando la cortamos de arriba a abajo, como partir una sandía. Estas mitades específicas se conocen como hemisferio oriental y hemisferio occidental.


This division helps us locate places more easily. Just like our home address has a street name and a house number, the Earth has these hemispheres to tell us where things are. It helps us give directions to places, explain time zones, and even predict weather patterns.
Esta división nos ayuda a localizar lugares más fácilmente. Así como la dirección de nuestra casa tiene el nombre de una calle y un número de casa, la Tierra tiene estos hemisferios para decirnos dónde están las cosas. Nos ayuda a dar direcciones a lugares, explicar zonas horarias e incluso predecir patrones climáticos.


If we know that Brazil is located in the Southern Hemisphere and France is in the Northern Hemisphere, for example, we can understand why their climates, seasons, and even when they celebrate holidays are different. Hemispheres are like big puzzle pieces that help us understand the Earth better!

Supongamos que sabemos que Brasil está ubicado en el hemisferio sur y Francia está en el hemisferio norte. En ese caso, podemos entender por qué sus climas, estaciones e incluso cuando celebran fiestas son diferentes. ¡Los hemisferios son como piezas gigantes de un rompecabezas que nos ayudan a comprender mejor la Tierra!


Which two (2) hemispheres is France located in?

¿En qué dos (2) hemisferios se encuentra Francia?

a)

E - W

b)

E-N

c)

S-W

d)

N-S

Latitude and longitude lines are imaginary lines that help us find specific locations on Earth. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distances north or south from the Equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distances east or west from the Prime Meridian. The Equator is like the middle line that separates the Earth into a top and bottom half, and the Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, England. By using both latitude and longitude lines together, we can determine any location on Earth accurately. It's like a giant grid that helps us tell where we are or find essential places worldwide!


Las líneas de latitud y longitud son líneas imaginarias que nos ayudan a encontrar ubicaciones específicas en la Tierra. Las líneas de latitud corren horizontalmente y miden distancias al norte o al sur del ecuador, mientras que las líneas de longitud corren verticalmente y miden distancias al este u oeste del primer meridiano. El Ecuador es como la línea media que separa la Tierra en una mitad superior e inferior, y el Primer Meridiano pasa por Greenwich, Inglaterra. Al utilizar las líneas de latitud y longitud juntas, podemos determinar con precisión cualquier ubicación en la Tierra. ¡Es como una cuadrícula gigante que nos ayuda a saber dónde estamos o encontrar lugares esenciales en todo el mundo!


 Which of the following lines of latitude runs at 0 degrees and divides the Earth into a top half and a bottom half?


¿Cuál de las siguientes líneas de latitud pasa a 0 grados y divide la Tierra en una mitad superior y una mitad inferior?

a)
