"The Eastern Hemisphere is a geographical term for the half of the Earth that is east of the Prime Meridian and west of 180° longitude. It is also used to refer to Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, vis-à-vis the Western Hemisphere, which includes the Americas. This hemisphere is called the "Oriental hemisphere". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac9dPZYApIg
