The position of the hemisphere in China

The hemisphere position of China is as follows:

I. Northern Hemisphere

The northern hemisphere refers to the area north of the equator of the earth. In this hemisphere, land accounts for 39.3% and ocean accounts for 60.7%. Winter in the northern hemisphere is usually 65438+February to February, and summer is usually June to August, which is contrary to the four seasons in the southern hemisphere. The two most widely distributed climates in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere are: temperate continental climate and sub-frigid coniferous forest climate. All the people in the northern hemisphere are North America and Europe.

Most of the land on the earth (most of Asia, the whole of Europe, the northern half of Africa, the northernmost part of North America and South America) and population are in the northern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is home to most economically and militarily developed countries in the world, such as China, the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal.

In the northern hemisphere, winter is usually 65438+February to February, and summer is usually June to August, which is contrary to the four seasons in the southern hemisphere.

Second, climate.

According to the inclination of the earth's axis, winter in the northern hemisphere begins in beginning of winter in the twenty-four solar terms and ends in March 2 (about March 20). Summer begins in the long summer and ends at the vernal equinox in September (about September 2 1). The northernmost part of the northern hemisphere is the Arctic Circle, and the North Pole is the northern end of the Arctic Circle.

Its seasons can be roughly divided into winter and Leng Xia is cold, and the average temperature is lower than other areas.

In winter, the Arctic will encounter the situation that the sun is below the horizon for one day or more, which is called extreme night. In summer, the sun will be above the horizon for one or more days in a row, which is called an extreme day. This situation lasts at least one day in the Arctic Circle, and it can last for several months in areas close to extremes.

Third, the southern hemisphere.

The southern hemisphere is half the earth between the Antarctic and the equator, and the southern hemisphere is south of the equator. Antarctica lies near the South Pole. Brazil and Australia are the two largest countries in the southern hemisphere. Most of Oceania and South America are in the southern hemisphere. Indonesia in Asia is located in the southern hemisphere because more than 70% of its territory is located in the southern hemisphere.

East Timor is the only Asian country whose entire territory lies in the southern hemisphere. Africa is the continent with the largest number of countries in the southern hemisphere.
