Zero degrees latitude is called the equator. It runs around the centre of the earth at the earth's widest point. Ecuador, in South America, is one country on the equator and gets its name from its location.

All the points on earth that are equally distant from the north and south poles

have a latitude of zero, and they form the line called the "equator".
