South Africa's Hemisphere

Where is South Africa located in terms of hemisphere?

Is it in the Southern Hemisphere or the Northern Hemisphere?

Final answer:

South Africa is located in the Southern Hemisphere due to its position below the Equator, which means it experiences seasons opposite to those of the Northern Hemisphere.

South Africa is located in the Southern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere is the half of the Earth that is south of the Equator. In this hemisphere, countries and regions experience seasons in opposite timing to the Northern Hemisphere. For example, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. South Africa, being entirely south of the Equator, falls within the Southern Hemisphere.
