0 1 China is located in the northern hemisphere.

The whole territory of China is located in the north of the equator of the earth, so we say that China is located in the northern hemisphere, which means that China is a country in the northern hemisphere. China's southernmost Zengmu shoal is also located north of the equator, so China is completely located in the northern hemisphere.

The division of the northern and southern hemispheres is based on the 0 parallel, that is, the equator, with the northern hemisphere to the north and the southern hemisphere to the south. The northern hemisphere refers to the area north of the equator of the earth. All in the northern hemisphere are North America and Europe. In this hemisphere, land accounts for 39.3% and ocean accounts for 60.7%. Winter in the northern hemisphere is usually1February to February, and summer is usually June to August, which is contrary to the four seasons in the southern hemisphere.

02. Climatic characteristics in the Northern Hemisphere

According to the axial inclination of the Earth, winter in the northern hemisphere begins in beginning of winter in the twenty-four solar terms and ends at March equinox (about March 20th). Summer begins in long summer and ends at September equinox (about September 2 1 day). 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 cold winter and cold summer, and the temperature is lower than other areas on average.

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