The meridian
The horizontal line that goes around the "waist" of the Earth is the Equator. The vertical line that goes vertically around the Earth, through the poles, is the Prime Meridian.
The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is not a physical or visible line on the Earth's surface, but rather a concept based on the Earth's rotation and axis.
No. Those are two different, separate, distinct, imaginary lines on the Earth's surface.
prime merideane and equator The equator divides the earth into two equal halves.
The equator is an imaginary line which indicates where the middle of the earth is and it goes around.
The equator
No. These are called lines of longitude or meridians, one of which is the Prime Meridian running through Grenwich, England (and other places, of course), considered to be 0º longitude, thereby marking the beginning point for all other lines of longitude.The equator, on the other hand, is an imaginary line circumnavigating (running around) the globe at a point halfway between the two poles - in other words, it is crossed by the meridians at right angles.The equator, therefore is a line of latitude from which the degrees north and south of all other lines of latitude are measured. The equator is 0º latitude.
the equator is the imaginary line around the earth.
the earth's equator
The equator or any line of longitude or meridian.
The equator splits up half of the earth. The equator is a line that splits half of the earth
The line at 0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
