Hemisfääriin

Hemisfääriin is a Finnish term that translates to "hemisphere" in English. It refers to half of a sphere. In a geographical context, the Earth is commonly divided into two hemispheres: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, separated by the Equator, and the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere, typically separated by the Prime Meridian and the 180th meridian. These divisions are used to define locations and understand global climate patterns. The term can also be applied to other spherical or semi-spherical objects. For example, in astronomy, celestial bodies can be discussed in terms of their hemispheres. The concept of hemispheres is fundamental in various fields of study, including geography, astronomy, and geometry, providing a basic framework for dividing and understanding spherical spaces.
