The parallel of Zero latitude is. It's the only parallel of latitude that is

a 'great circle' ... a circle with its center at the center of the Earth ...

and its length is the Earth's equatorial circumference. In honor and

recognition of its unique place in the pantheon of parallels, it is given

a special name, which is often capitalized. That parallel is known as

the 'Equator' of the Earth.
