Another name for the Northern Hemisphere is "the Northern Tempest." While this nickname is not widely recognized, the Northern Hemisphere is often contrasted with the Southern Hemisphere when discussing climate, geography, and celestial phenomena. It encompasses North America, Europe, parts of Asia, and northern Africa. The Northern Hemisphere is significant for various reasons, including its diverse climates, ranging from arctic conditions in the far north to temperate zones. It is also home to the majority of the world's population. The term may also refer to how celestial navigation is practiced, particularly in identifying stars and constellations visible in this half of the Earth.
