The equator stays right where it is and does not travel at all. Land masses might move underneath and the atmosphere moves above but the equator is stationary (on the spinning Earth or planet in question).

∙ 12y agoThe Sun mostly doesn't go anywhere; it slowly orbits the galactic center, taking about 200 million years to complete one orbit.
The Earth travels in an elliptical path (almost circular, but very slightly oval-shaped) around the Sun. The Earth also spins like a top on its axis. Because the axis of the Earth's rotation is 23.5 degrees off the plane of the Earth's orbit, the Sun _seems_ to move south and north of the equator. And all over the earth, regardless of hemisphere, the Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.
If you are south of the Tropic of Capricorn (23,5 S) and face the noonday Sun the Sun appears to move from right to left. North of the Tropic of Cancer (23,5 N) if you face the noonday sun the Sun appears to move from left to right.

What direction do the planets move using the sun as a refrence point?
The planets orbit the sun in an anti-clockwise fashion if we were to view the solar system from over the north pole of the sun.
