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.
In the globe it is called the axis. In a sphere it is called the diameter.
If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.
The Equator crosses South America, about 20% of South America is north of the equator and 80% is south of the equator.Both, actually. The equator line runs through the northern part. But, the majority of South America is south of the equator.
No. It does not run throught North America. It DOES run through South America though.
The Prime Meridian ends at both the North Pole and South Pole.
The Axis
Meridians are lines of longitude that are drawn from the North to South poles.
because it is typically drawn below (south of on maps) the north bridge when drawing schematics.
The prime meridian
In plane (Euclidian) geometry there is only one line through two points. On a sphere, every meridian intersects the north and south poles.

No. The equator is an imaginary line drawn on the Earth's surface, all the way around, mid-way between the north and south poles.

Latitude is imaginary lines that measures distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is imaginary lines that measures distance east and west of a line drawn between the North and South Poles and passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.
The Green Mountains run north to south through the state of Vermont.
