Brace Yourselves: It's Not Rocket Science (But Maybe a Little Map Science?)
Now, some folks might scoff and say, "Isn't this common knowledge?" To them, we say: relax, Sheldon. Everyone starts somewhere, and besides, a little geographical exercise is good for the brain (keeps it from getting rusty like that old swing set in your backyard).
So, to answer your burning question, Chicago, the windy city itself, resides in the lofty (get it? Because it's north?) Northern Hemisphere. Basically, imagine the Earth is a giant pizza (pepperoni, obviously, because Chicago), and the equator is the crust. Chicago chills out way above that crust line, basking in the glow of the north pole (not literally, but you get the idea).
Hemisphere Heroes: You've Got This!
Conquering the concept of hemispheres is a badge of honor you can wear with pride. Now you can impress your friends at parties (or, you know, casual Tuesday night hangouts) with your newfound knowledge.

- Why some constellations are only visible from certain hemispheres (sorry, Southern Hemisphere peeps, you can't see the Big Dipper)
- How to properly plan a vacation that involves avoiding the whole "winter wonderland" situation when you're craving sunshine (looking at you, Antarctica).
