What is the equator an example of?
The equator is an example of an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It is situated at 0 degrees latitude and marks the halfway point between the North Pole and South Pole.
What is the line of latitude at 0 degrees around the middle of the globe called?
The line of latitude at 0 degrees is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and is the halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole.
Why is the radius of the earth less at the poles than at the equator?
The mass of the earth is not great enough to force itself into a perfect sphere. This is because the motion of the earth rotating forces the centre to bulge outwards. As the rotation of the earth slows down, so does the bulge at the equator.
Where do the suns rays hit on June 21?
The sun's rays hit 50% of the Earth continuously ... 24/7/365. They can only hit perpendicular ... straight down ... on places that are within about 23.5 degrees of the equator, north and south. That's the only region on Earth where the sun can ever be directly over your head. That whole "belt" around the Earth's middle is called the "Tropics". On June 21, the sun is as far north as it can get, appearing directly overhead for people at 23.5 degrees north of the equator, whenever it happens to be Noon where each of them is.
How many degrees above the equator is England?
Just like the equator, England is right down on the Earth's surface. It's north latitude ranges from roughly 49.97° to 55.81°. It could appear either above or below the equator, depending on how you hold your map, and where the map was printed.

What sea in located in the middle of the earth?
"middle" is very arbitrary If you use the currently defined Prime Meridian as the starting point then the "middle" could be at 180° - - - which runs mostly through the Pacific Ocean. If you are looking down on the North Pole, then the Arctic Ocean is in the middle. If you run around the equator, then the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans lie in the middle. If you consider the middle to be the center of the Earth, then I don't think you could consider what occupies that space as a "sea". We believe the center of the Earth is solid.
Do planes fly uphill from the poles to the equator?
No. Planes fly horizontally, but the concept of horizontal depends on the direction of gravity. Gravity pulls towards the center of the Earth, so "down" at the poles is the same as "down" at the equator, i.e. towards the center of the Earth.

Is jet streams cause by earth rotation?
Partially. The pressure difference between warm air near equator and cold air near arctic causes air to rise at equator travel north to arctic then down and south back to equator. The rotation of the earth bends that north-south belt - faster at the equator than at the slower rotation at arctic. The result of both is the jet stream.

Is w.a.meacham middle school haunted?
of course not.. a haunted school should or will close down and meacham is not even close to closing down... besides there has never been a tragedy that inquires a ghostly prescense
The earth rotates from?
east to west because the sun comes up in the east and sets in the west.
Why do we have rainforests at the equator and deserts at 30 degree N. and S. Latitude?
I think the answer is because the rain forest is at the equator and not so hot is because the earth is tilled and the tall trees are being poured down because the convection current.
