What is the invisible line through south America?

The named lines of latitude that run through South America are:- the Equator in northern South America- the Tropic of Capricorn in southern South America---Assuming you are referring to lines of latitude and longitude, there are an infinite number of imaginary lines that are used to divide and identify the entire surface of the earth. Some are called lines of latitude, or parallels as these lines run parallel to each other and the equator in an East and West direction. The others are called lines of longitude, or meridians, and they run north and south, converging at the poles. The two "primary" lines (or starting points, if you will) are called the Prime Meridian and the Equator. The Prime Meridian bisects the earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It runs north and south through Greenwich, England at zero degrees of longitude and through the Pacific Ocean at 180 degrees of longitude. The Equator at zero degrees latitude bisects the earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and runs around the middle of the earth. The Equator runs through South America and passes about 15 miles from the center of Quito, Ecuador.

What lines run parallel through the equator?

The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR. [The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.] The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.
