What is the difference between a hemisphere and a continent

The Northern Hemisphere refers to the half of the planet that is north of the equator, while the Southern Hemisphere is all of the planet south of the equator. Some continents run through both hemispheres, although all of Europe and North America are in the Northern Hemisphere.

Answer: hemisphere means half of sphere therefore it's half of the earth (northern vs southern hemisphere) while a continent is a landmass
