The equator is the line that runs straight around the middle of the earth, at zero degrees of latitude.

The North Pole is at 90 degrees north and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south, so they are both equidistant from the equator.

The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude that runs around the earth at 66 degrees and 33 minutes north, that means that it is closer to the equator than the South Pole.
