What is the equator an example of?
An equator is an line in the middle of the globe and the prime meridian is down the middle of the globe 🌍🌏🌍🌏🌎
Why is the radius of the earth less at the poles than at the equator?
The mass of the earth is not great enough to force itself into a perfect sphere. This is because the motion of the earth rotating forces the centre to bulge outwards. As the rotation of the earth slows down, so does the bulge at the equator.
What is the line of latitude at 0 degrees around the middle of the globe called?
The line of latitude at 0 degrees is the equator. 0 degrees= middle both ways.To remember longitude from latitude and latitude from longitude remember this:longitude: LONG... up and down... North and Southlatitude: lat.. flat... side to side... East and West
Where do the suns rays hit on June 21?
The sun's rays hit 50% of the Earth continuously ... 24/7/365. They can only hit perpendicular ... straight down ... on places that are within about 23.5 degrees of the equator, north and south. That's the only region on Earth where the sun can ever be directly over your head. That whole "belt" around the Earth's middle is called the "Tropics". On June 21, the sun is as far north as it can get, appearing directly overhead for people at 23.5 degrees north of the equator, whenever it happens to be Noon where each of them is.
Why do the poles equator heat differently?
The equator is closer to the Sun.The sunlight falls directly through the atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface, and is warmer.At the poles the sunlight is on a slant and has further to travel so cools down faster.

What sea in located in the middle of the earth?
"middle" is very arbitrary If you use the currently defined Prime Meridian as the starting point then the "middle" could be at 180° - - - which runs mostly through the Pacific Ocean. If you are looking down on the North Pole, then the Arctic Ocean is in the middle. If you run around the equator, then the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans lie in the middle. If you consider the middle to be the center of the Earth, then I don't think you could consider what occupies that space as a "sea". We believe the center of the Earth is solid.
Do planes fly uphill from the poles to the equator?
No. Planes fly horizontally, but the concept of horizontal depends on the direction of gravity. Gravity pulls towards the center of the Earth, so "down" at the poles is the same as "down" at the equator, i.e. towards the center of the Earth.

Is the jet stream caused by earth's rotation?
Partially. The pressure difference between warm air near equator and cold air near arctic causes air to rise at equator travel north to arctic then down and south back to equator. The rotation of the earth bends that north-south belt - faster at the equator than at the slower rotation at arctic. The result of both is the jet stream.

What effects climate the most?
Climate is effected most by longitude. Longitude (up and down axis of earth) determines how far or close an area is the equator, measuring at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The closer an area is to the equator the lower the temperature. The farther an area is from the equator, the higher the temperature.
How many degrees above the equator is England?
Just like the equator, England is right down on the Earth's surface. It's north latitude ranges from roughly 49.97° to 55.81°. It could appear either above or below the equator, depending on how you hold your map, and where the map was printed.
