The equator, Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer are all imaginary lines of latitude which run across the surface of the Earth. The equator lies at 0 degrees latitude, and is the longest line of latitude, being where the earth is widest in an east-west direction. It is the imaginary line that divides the planet into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Among other countries, it runs through Indonesia, Ecuador, northern Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Kenya, and is 40,075.16 kilometres long. The Tropic of Cancer lies at 23.5 degrees north of the equator and runs through Mexico, the Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, and southern China. The Tropic of Capricorn is located at 23.5 degrees south of the equator and runs through Australia, Chile, southern Brazil and the northern part of South Africa.
