Peru if you measure just about right that is what you may get. :)
As the crow flies 483 Km or 300 Miles plus or minus 10 miles
Because the Earth is spinning - at about 1000 miles per hour at the equator.
Distance. Each zone is 1/24th of the Earth's circumference, or about 1000 miles at the equator and about 600 miles in the US.
Rockets are launched as close to the equator as possible to launch satellites most economically by taking full advantage of the Earth's rotational velocity, which is about 1000 miles per hour at the equator and slower at all higher latitudes. This is 1000 miles per hour less speed that the rocket needs to provide and a significant savings in rocket fuel. However, other rockets are not launched from the equator as there is no similar advantage (e.g. rockets launching polar orbiting satellites or military warheads can be launched from anyplace and going to the equator to launch them would be an unnecessary expense with many disadvantages).

1000 miles
Oklahoma is approximately 2,441 miles away from the Equator. Oklahoma is also 3,774 miles away from North pole and 8,656 miles away from the South pole.
No. Vietnam is a good 1000 miles north of the equator.

Quito gets, on average, between 1000 and 2500 mm per year.
Brazil!
It is warmer near the equator because the sun is pointing directley at the "area" and the Equator is closer towards the center of the Earth. If the Equator were on the North Pole it would not be the same temperature.
The distance to Khartoum from Cairo is: 1003 miles / 1614.17 km.Therefore, the nation south of Cairo is Sudan.
Libya
Because the Earth is spinning - at about 1000 miles per hour at the equator.
The rotational surface speed at the equator is approximately 1000 mph
