Equator
Latitudinal measurements. The East/West centerline is the Equator.
An invisible line that forms east-west circles around the Earth is called both parallel and line of latitude. An imaginary line that circles the earth from north to south is called both meridian and line of longitude.
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
The most important line of latitude that circles the Earth at its middle from east to west is the equator. It is situated at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is significant as it is used as a reference point for measuring distances and as a baseline for mapping and navigation.
There is no such place as "east of the equator". The equator circles the entire Earth from east to west.
The line of demarcation is typically represented as the Equator, which is a line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and circles the entire globe, running east-west.
The equator completely circles the Earth in the east/west direction,so there's no such place as 'east of the equator'.
The lines of latitude and longitude.
The meridians of 0° and 180° longitude separate the east and west hemispheres.
The equater divides earth into 2 hemispheres (North and South). The prime meridean divides Earth into 2 other hemispheres (East and West).
The International Date Line is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface that marks the change in calendar day. When you cross this line from east to west, you either add or subtract a day depending on the direction. It runs roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean.
You're thinking of 'parallels of constant latitude'.
