India lies in the Northern Hemisphere regarding the equator.
The Northern Hemisphere is the Northern part of the earth's surface. The countries in the Northern Hemisphere shelter more than half of the world's population. More than half of the continent of Asia, 89 per cent of Africa, and 10 percent of South America lie in the northern hemisphere. The highly populated countries of the world, China and India, are also located in the Northern Hemisphere. India receives adequate sunlight throughout the year since it lies in the Northern Hemisphere. The territories of India extend above the equator. Since the country is a part of Asia, it is located in the Eastern hemisphere.
