GeoHemisphere
is a two-dimensional GeoGraphics primitive that represents the half of the Earth centered at your current geo location.
GeoHemisphere[loc]
represents the half of the Earth centered at the location loc.
Details
- The boundary of the hemisphere is a line contained on a plane that goes through the center of the Earth.
- The location loc can be specified as latitude and longitude coordinates {lat,lon} in degrees, as GeoPosition[{lat,lon}], or as named entities Entity[…].
