The Northern Hemisphere has more land compared to the Southern Hemisphere. The Northern Hemisphere houses the majority of the Earth's land masses, including continents like North America, Europe, the vast majority of Asia, and much of Africa. In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere is home to significant portions of South America, some of Asia, a small part of Africa, Oceania (including Australia), and Antarctica. Oceans mainly cover the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, if we look at the percentage of Earth's land that is distributed across both hemispheres, the Northern Hemisphere comes out on top with a larger proportion of land.
