Equator?
Ecuador is the country that derives its name from a latitude. The country is named after the equator which runs through it, making it one of the few countries in the world named after a geographic feature.
The country named after a line of latitude is Ecuador, which translates to "equator" in Spanish. The equator passes through the country, and it is one of the few nations where the equator line runs through.
Ecuador is the spanish word for equator and since the equator runs through Ecuador that is how it got its name.
The line of latitude that goes through Ecuador is the Equator, which is located at 0 degrees latitude. The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is the only line of latitude that is a great circle and is equidistant from the North Pole and the South Pole.
Lines of latitude do not have names within the conventional system of measuring latitude using degrees. Lines of latitude are commonly referred to by the numerical value of their angle from the equator, such as the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) and the Antarctic Circle (66.5°S), but they are not formally named like lines of longitude.
