The Latitude is the line
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 circumference is the distance around the Earth at it's widest point. The diameter goes through the center of the Earth from one side to the other.

nothing much
when the moon goes straight through the center of the Earth's shadow, or at least close enough to the center that there is some time when the moon is completely in it
If a chord goes thru the center of a circle, it is the diameter

A chord that passes through the center of a circle is its diameter.
The two meridians that pass through the center of Africa are the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) and the Greenwich Meridian (also 0° longitude). The Prime Meridian runs vertically through the continent, specifically through countries like Ghana and Mali. Additionally, the 30° East meridian also crosses through Eastern Africa, but the Prime Meridian is the primary reference line.
The theory that the Sun revolved around the Earth (i.e. that the Earth is the center) is called Geocentricity. The theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun (i.e. that the Sun is the center) is called Heliocentricity.
It means that is where all the gravity goes
