in line Neptune is 5th away from the earth
when the sun, earth, and the moon are nearly in a line
about 174 degrees
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 earth rotates on it's axis, the imaginary line that runs from the north pole to the south pole through the center of the earth.

it is a line
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
The imaginary line that circles the earth at 23.5o N is the Tropic of Cancer. This line is parallel with the equator.
the earth's equator

This line is the equator.
The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
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 moon and earth are always exactly in line; any two points define a line. When the earth moon and sun are all exactly in line, that is different. When this happens it is either a solar eclipse or it is a lunar eclipse.
