which hemisphere has more land, the eastern or western?

The Eastern Hemisphere has more land than the Western Hemisphere.

Quick Scoop: The Land-Heavy Side of Earth

If you slice Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres using the prime meridian and its opposite line, the Eastern side comes out clearly more land-rich.

• The Eastern Hemisphere includes all of Australia, most of Europe, Africa, and Asia, plus a large part of Antarctica.

• The Western Hemisphere is dominated by North and South America, with only smaller slices of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Antarctica.

• Because of this continental layout, the Eastern Hemisphere contains a larger share of the planet’s total land area and also most of the world’s population.

You can picture it this way: imagine centering a globe on Europe–Africa–Asia; that half is packed with major landmasses, while the opposite side is much more ocean-heavy.
