Answer:

Hemisphere

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, a half of the world is called Hemisphere.

The divisions can be latitudinal or longitudinal.

The Equator, or line of 0 degrees latitude, divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

The prime meridian, or 0 degrees longitude, divides the Earth into Eastern and Western hemispheres.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
