Australia is what of the equator?
The only equator is the equator of the Earth, that is, its center line which is half way between the north pole and the south pole. Australia (which means 'south place') is well south of the equator.
What is the half called that the equator divides?
Half of any sphere is a 'hemisphere'. In the case of the equator, the halves north and south of it are called the Earth's 'northern hemisphere' and 'southern hemisphere'.
Does the earth sit in the middle of the equator?
The Earth has an equator. The equator goes around the middle of the Earth. The equator is the circular line that goes around the Earth that is half way between the North and South poles. The equator is defined by the Earth's rotation and for that matter so are the locations of the North and South poles. Even without the Sun as a guide, we would know there was an axis of rotation and so we would be able to define the mid-plane perpendicular to that axis half way between the two ends.
The half of the earth north of line the equator is the?
The Northern Hemisphere.
Is the Equator closer to the South Pole or the Arctic Circle?
The equator is the line that runs straight around the middle of the earth, at zero degrees of latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees north and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south, so they are both equidistant from the equator. The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude that runs around the earth at 66 degrees and 33 minutes north, that means that it is closer to the equator than the South Pole.
What is the imaginary line that divides the earth in half north and south?
Equator
What hemispheres do you get when you cu the earth in half at the equator?
You get the north hemisphere and the south hemisphere.
What divides the earth into two half spheres?
The equator divides the earth into the north and south hemispheres.
Australia is what of the equator?
The only equator is the equator of the Earth, that is, its center line which is half way between the north pole and the south pole. Australia (which means 'south place') is well south of the equator.
If you traveled from north to south half of the earth where would you cross?
Half way would be the Equator (zero latitude).
What is each half of the earth is called?
To the north of the equator is the northern hemisphere, and to the south is the Southern Hemisphere.
What is half of the earth with north poles in it?
The Earth is split into two hemispheres based on the Equator. The North Pole is in the Northern Hemisphere. With the South Pole is in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the furthest distance from north to south?
The furthest distance from north to south (on the earth) would be the distance from the north pole to the south pole, or half of the earth's polar circumference. It's about 12,400 miles, just a little bit less than half-way around the equator.
What is the half called that the equator divides?
Half of any sphere is a 'hemisphere'. In the case of the equator, the halves north and south of it are called the Earth's 'northern hemisphere' and 'southern hemisphere'.

What is Half of the earth south of the equator is the?
The answer is in your question: Southern.
What is the half of earth north of the equator?
The northern hemisphere.
