The largest imaginary circle on the globe is the equator, which is a line of latitude. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and is located at 0 degrees latitude. Longitudes, on the other hand, are lines that run from pole to pole and vary in length, being widest at the equator and converging at the poles.
