Sailors used to refer to a windless area of the sea as the doldrums.
Windless areas of the equator are referred to as doldrums, in maritime terms.

More Than "almost." the sun hits right on the equator. In fact, if you have a flagpole on the equator, there will be no shadow at noon. But the equator is not the only place where this happens. This happens Up to the tropics (tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn).
Africa is the continent that is almost cut in half by the equator.
If you are right at the Equator, you will not be able to see Polaris. If you could, it would be right on the horizon, but ground haze and obstructions would almost certainly hide it from view.
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
The equator is due south from Mazatlan. Conversely, Mazatlan is almost 2600 kilometers (1600 miles) north of the equator.
A windless zone at the Earth's equator where air rises almost straight up is called the doldrums. This equatorial region is in the Atlantic Ocean.
Because the sunlight it receives is almost directly overhead all year round. the Equator receives the most solar energy.

Cool, dry, almost windless weather is best.

Yes/more at the north/south hemisphere zones but almost constant at the equator.

Saturn's equatorial radius is 60,268 ± 4 km (= 9.4492 Earths), so its visible width at the equator would be 120,536 Km (or almost 20 times the width of Earth).
