Which country in the world spans four hemispheres?

Kiribati. Kiribati, an island country in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, has a population of only 610.4 million and a land area of only about 780 square kilometers (less than 30% of Beijing's urban area).

Kiribati is too small to be found on the map, but because the equator and the international international date line cross the whole country, it has become a unique country in the world that spans east and west, connects north and south, and sets foot on four hemispheres at the same time.

As the country did not become independent from British rule until 1979, and the "International international date line" defined by 1884 passes through it, and the time difference between the two sides of the line is exactly one day, Kiribati is also the only country in the world that needs to use two different calendars.

If a woman who is going to give birth to a baby happens to give birth to twins before and after passing through the International international date line on New Year's Day 1994, the eldest was born before crossing the line (the ship is in the old hemisphere) and the second was born after the ship crossed the line, then the ranking of the two people is in a dilemma. Mingming's eldest brother was born in 1 99465438+1October1,and his second child was born in199365438+February 3 1.
