nothern hemisphere
The imaginary extension of Earth's equator into space is called the celestial equator. It is an imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's equator, dividing the celestial sphere into northern and southern hemispheres.
The circumference of the Earth one foot above the equator would be approximately the same as the circumference at the equator itself, which is about 24,901 miles.
The part of the Earth that is north of the equator is called the Northern Hemisphere.
prime merideane and equator The equator divides the earth into two equal halves.
Close, but no. The moon's orbit is inclined to the plane of the Earth's orbit (the ecliptic plane) by about 5.1° . That's the same plane to which the Earth's equator is inclined by about 23.5° degrees ... causing the seasons and all that. If the moon orbited above Earth's equator, then it would always appear the same distance above the horizon as it passed its peak, south of your house (in the northern hemisphere). But you've probably noticed how the moon can appear really high on Winter nights, and really low on Summer nights.

It is called the equator
There is no such country. The equator, and all of the Earth's countries, all cling steadfastly to the surface.

The celestial equator is an imaginary circle created by extending Earth's equator into space. Zenith is an imaginary point in the sky directly above and observer on earth.
The imaginary line across the middle of the Earth is called the equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
