    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equator

    The equator is a circle of latitude that divides a spheroid, such as Earth, into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. On Earth, the Equator is an imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude, about 40,075 km (24,901 mi) in circumference, halfway between the North and South poles. [1] .

  3. The Equator is the imaginary circle around Earth that is everywhere equidistant from the geographic poles and lies in a plane perpendicular to Earth’s axis. The Equator divides Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. In the system of latitude and longitude, the Equator is the line with 0° latitude.

    The Equator is the imaginary on the Earth’s surface that is equidistant from the two poles of the Earth, thus dividing the planet into the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres. The length of the Equator is about 40,075 km, and 78.7% of the imaginary line passes through water and the rest through the land.
