They are lines of longitude and run from pole to pole. The Prime Meridian (zero) runs through Greenwich Observatory, and the other lines of longitude run from the Prime Meridian to the West and to the East.
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 imaginary horizontal line that goes around the middle of the earth is called the equator.
The equator is an imaginary line which indicates where the middle of the earth is and it goes around.
the equater
Equator
I belive it does, because it goes from east to west so it measures that part. Answer 2 It doesn't actually measure anything. It's an imaginary line running around the middle of the Earth equidistant from the poles.
The imaginary line that goes from pole to pole through the interior of the Earth is called the Earth's axis. It is an imaginary line around which the Earth rotates, and it is inclined at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
its axis....
an imaginary line that goes around the earth dividing in half defining north and south
Earth spins around its axis(or imaginary line from the north pole to the south pole) by gravity from earth itself and the surrounding planets.
It's called a latitude (But you asked for the name of the LINE that goes around the Earth like a parallel belt)
