There are a number of imaginary lines that go through the North and South Poles one way or another.
The Earth's axis passes through the centre of the Earth and is the point about which the Earth rotates. The north and south extremities of the axis are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude and the North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude.
The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept.
The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which separates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude.
All other imaginary lines are lines of longitude which are "X" degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England.

Lines of Longitude, other wise known as parallels of longitude.The straight line between the poles is the Earth's axis of rotation.
The curved lines between the poles and along the surface are the meridians
of longitude.

What else can I help you with?
Is the Equator a parallel or a meridian?
The equator is a parallel. Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles. "Parallels" are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel is the same distance from a pole. The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all other latitudes are measured from it. A parallel
Is the equator invisible?
yes, it is an imaginary line the separates the north from the south
What imaginary line circles earth halfway between those points?
The Equator circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Which line correspond to 0 latitude?
The line that corresponds to 0 latitude is the Equator. It is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles.
Latitude is measured north and south from the?
latitude runs north to south and longitude runs to east to west so dont get it mix up
What is an imaginary line of 0 latitude that circles the earth midway between North and South poles?
the Equator
What are facts about equation?
- It is an imaginary line. - It circles the globe halfway between the North and South poles. - Its zero degrees
Is the Equator a parallel or a meridian?
The equator is a parallel. Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles. "Parallels" are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel is the same distance from a pole. The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all other latitudes are measured from it. A parallel
Is the equator invisible?
yes, it is an imaginary line the separates the north from the south
What imaginary line circles earth halfway between those points?
The Equator circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Is the equator a pararllel or a meridian?
Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles. Parallels are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel is the same distance from a pole. The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all other latitudes are measured from it.
How many degrees is it from the North and South Poles to the Arctic and Antarctic Circles?
The Arctic and Antarctic Cirles are 66.5619° from the North and South Poles.
Which line correspond to 0 latitude?
The line that corresponds to 0 latitude is the Equator. It is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles.
What imaginary line is halfway beween the north and south poles?
equator
What imaginary lien is halfway between the North and South Poles?
the Equator
Latitude is measured north and south from the?
latitude runs north to south and longitude runs to east to west so dont get it mix up
Where is the equater located?
The equator is the collection of every point that has equal distances from both the North and South Poles.
