The measurement of the equtor is nearly 40.075km or 24.9015miles long
it is 25,285 miles at the equator
About 25,000 Miles at the Equator...
The proximity of the equator is a big influence.
Quito, Eduador, is very close to the Equator, but the nearby city of Equator, is exactly on the Equator. There a great big monument at the location.
how big is Earth
Australia is South of the Equator.
Earths diameter at the equator is around 40,074 km
Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles) at the equator.
Big wind storms, called hurricanes and typhoons, tend to happen near the equator, not necessarily at the equator exactly. Heat drives the weather. The more heat you have, the more violent the weather will become.
Australia is a big place, and the answer is different at various points in it. The tip of the Cape York Peninsula is 1,190.5 km south of the Equator, whereas the town of Fish Creek, about 160 km southeast of Melbourne, is about 4,285 km south of the equator.
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.
