What kind of lines show how far a place is away from the equator?. Hemispheres. A place can be either in the NORTHERN or SOUTHERN hemisphere. That means it is in one of the halves above or below the imaginary east-west line known as the EQUATOR.. A place can also be in either the WESTERN or EASTERN hemisphere.
