This geographic, or terrestrial, Equator divides Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres and forms the imaginary reference line on Earth’s surface from which latitude is reckoned; in other words, it is the line with 0° latitude.
It is an imaginary line on the spheroid, equidistant from its poles, dividing it into northern and southern hemispheres. In other words, it is the intersection of the spheroid with the plane perpendicular to its axis of rotation and midway between its geographical poles.
The equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at the midway point between the North and South Poles. It has a latitude of 0 degrees and separates the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere. The length of the equator is 40,075.16 kilometers.
The equator is an imaginary line dividing Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is located halfway between the North and South poles. The equator is 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles) long. Earth isn’t a perfect sphere. Because of its spin, it bulges slightly at the equator.
Of the 13 countries that lie on the equator, seven are in Africa—the most of any continent—and South America is home to three of the nations. The remaining countries are island nations in the Indian and Pacific oceans. The countries through which the equator runs are: São Tomé and Principe. Gabon.
The Equator is an imaginary line around the middle of Earth. It is halfway between the North and South Poles, and divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth, positioned halfway between the North and South Poles. It marks 0 degrees latitude and stretches about 40,075 kilometers or 24,901 miles around the planet.
The equator is an imaginary line that runs from east to west on Earth's surface and is exactly halfway between the north and south poles (the northernmost and southernmost points on the Earth).
The equator is an imaginary line of latitude around the earth, or any other planet, that separates it into two equal parts, normally the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. The equator acts as the center between the north and south poles.
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.
