It is a circle because, the earth is a circle, and the equator stretches all the way around the earth.
To move in a circle around something is called revolving. To move around the same point is called rotation. To move around another stationary object is called orbiting. The earth rotates on its own axis while also orbiting around the sun.
Any circle on the Earth's surface whose center is at the center of the Earth is called a "great circle". Any circle with its center anywhere else is called a "small circle". Spiritually, many consider the kaaba (Mecca) to be the center of the Earth's surface.
The equator.
if you mean "force that causes an object to go in a circle", that is called Centrifugal force.an object in motion stays in motion correct? Centrifugal force is where an object is traveling trough space and wants to move in a straight line, and an outside force doesn't allow the object to move outside of a set boundary by pulling on it. like gravity keeping the Earth in orbit around the Sun, or the Moon around the Earth
'Tis the Earth that travels around the Sun, not the other way.
It is a circle because, the earth is a circle, and the equator stretches all the way around the earth.
It would depend on how high up you were and what direction you are traveling.
