The imaginary line is called the Prime Meridian.
The Prime Meridian divides the Earth into east and west longitudes.
The measurements for latitude are based around the equator. The imaginary lines that go above or below the equator are parallels.
Latitude lines. ( Or the Equator) :)
All longitudes are measured east and west of the Prime Meridian.
The lines don't have to be measured. They are wherever we decide
to imagine they are.

The equator is an imaginary line which runs around the widest part of the Earth in an East/West direction.

The imaginary lines that run from north to south are called lines of longitude. The most significant one is the international date line, which divides the extreme east from the extreme west.
The 20o west meridian approximates an imaginary line running north and south through the Atlantic Ocean. The eastern and western hemispheres are actually separated by the meridians 20o west and 160o east.

The equator runs around the center of the earth.

The equator is an imaginary line that runs horizontally around the middle of the earth - you can't say "east of the equator" because it runs in an east-west direction and doesn't stop.

Latitudinal measurements. The East/West centerline is the Equator.
East and West Antarctica are separated by an imaginary line, so they are neighbors.
