The prime meridian
Arctic, polar, freezing, frigid...
If it is summer at the South Pole, then everywhere in the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter.
No, the equator is not a polar region. The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, while the polar regions are located near the North and South Poles. The equator is known for its warm and tropical climate, while the polar regions are characterized by cold temperatures and ice.
This cannot happen because the Coriolis Force becomes negligible near the equator, and the storm would fall apart. Furthermore, the Coriolis Force acts in opposite directions on each side of the equator. Clearly, a hurricane could not be spinning in one direction, then stop spinning as it approaches the equator and start spinning in the other direction as it is on the other side!
No, break dancers spinning on their heads do not change direction when they are south of the Equator. The direction of their spin is determined by their personal preference and technique, not their location relative to the Equator.
The equator and the International dateline cross. the distance between a point on one and a point on the other can be anywhere between zero and about 6,214 miles.
SUMMER! :) It is the opposite only on opposite sides of the equator.
No, quite the opposite. There is no part of Spain or Argentina that sits on the equator. All locations on the equator are in other countries.
It is at the opposite end of the world- as far from the equator as you can get.
because it is south of the equator it is opposite the USA
No, hurricanes cannot cross the equator due to the Coriolis effect, which causes storms to rotate in opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

The seasons are opposite. When it is winter in the north, it is summer in the south, etc.
The hemisphere opposite the Northern Hemisphere is the Southern Hemisphere. The Earth is divided into these two main hemispheres by the equator.
If it is summer at the South Pole, then everywhere in the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter.
It would be summer when its winter in the US, i currently live in Peru =)
