Who is Eastern Hemisphere?

The Eastern Hemisphere is like one side of a giant world map that you can imagine holding in your hands.

Imagine Earth as a big ball, just like a basketball, but rounder and more colorful. Now picture cutting this ball with an imaginary line from the top to the bottom, passing through the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The part on the right side of this line is called the Eastern Hemisphere.

Like Two Sides of a Storybook

If you think of Earth as a storybook, the Eastern Hemisphere is like one half of it, where many people live, including places like Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. It’s just like having two halves of a cookie: one half is the Eastern Hemisphere, and the other half is the Western Hemisphere.

So when someone says “Who is Eastern Hemisphere?”, they're asking about all the people and places that live on this side of Earth, just like you might ask, "Who is in my classroom?" to know who's around you at school.
