This depends on the definition and conventions used by the reader to describe the

constitution of Earth's continents, and the answer is specifically affected by whether

the reader considers the country of Indonesia to be found in the continent of "Asia"

or "Oceania" or none, owing to the fact that Indonesia comprises island land masses

none of which are large enough to be described as a continent. Starting at the

International Date Line and moving west, the equator crosses the following 2011

continental countries: Indonesia (in the continent named "Asia", "Oceania" or "none",

depending on convention used) then Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of

Congo, Congo and Gabon, (in the continent named "Africa"), followed by Brazil,

Columbia and Ecuador (in the continent named "South America"). So, either two or

three continents are crossed, Africa and South America for certain, plus "Asia" or

"Oceania" if the land masses of Indonesia meet the reader's definition of a continent.
