Let us know what you think.
South Africa is situated in the Southern Hemisphere.
To determine in which hemisphere South Africa is located, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate South Africa on a map. South Africa is on the southernmost tip of the African continent.
2. Observe coordinates. South Africa's approximate coordinates are approximately 30° S latitude and 25° E longitude.
Based on these coordinates:
- Latitude: South Africa is positioned at approximately 30° S, which means it is below the Equator.
- Longitude: South Africa is positioned at approximately 25° E, which means it is east of the Prime Meridian.
Hence, South Africa is located in both the Southern Hemisphere (due to its south of the Equator positioning) and the Eastern Hemisphere (due to its east of the Prime Meridian positioning).
