The equator is on the 0 degree latitude that is between the north and south poles. So obviously it is between the poles.
At the equator, one degree of longitude corresponds to about 69 miles.
Vietnam is of S-shape country that lies between the Equator (0 degree) and the Cancer circle (23.5 degree north)
10 degree
111.12 km
Sri Lanka is approximately 400 miles from the Equator.
The equator represents the zero degree line of latitude.
The equator.
At the equator, the circumference of the Earth is 40,075.16 km ( 24,901.55 miles). Divide that into 360 equal pieces to get the distance for each one degree of longitude. A degree of longitude at the equator is equal to 111.32 km.
The distance represented by one degree of longitude varies according to distance from the equator. That's because the meridians of longitude are equally distributed around the equator but all converge to a single point at the north and south poles. The greatest distance between any two meridians of longitude, then, is the distance between the points where they cross the equator. Along the equator, one degree of longitude covers about 111.1 kilometers.
The equator.
It can tell you the angle on the surface of the Earth between the equator and that place, and also the approximate altitude of Polaris above the Northern horizon as seen from that place at any hour on a clear night.
