What else can I help you with?
Is equator an ocean?
No, it's an imaginary line all around the Earth. It crosses some oceans, and it crosses some continents.
Is the equator a line of longitude that runs around the middle of earth?
Nope. The equator is the line formed by all points on Earth with zero latitude.It crosses all longitudes.
Occurs when earth crosses the orbit of a meteriod cluster?
Meteor shower
How many times does the earth cross the galactic equinox in 1 cycle of the galaxy?
The galactic alignment occurs once every 26,000 years but Earth crosses the Milky Way's galactic plane (also called the galactic equator) twice a year, every year.
Through which continents does the equater cross?
The Equator crosses South America through Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil, Africa through Gabon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya and Somalia, and southeast Asia through Indonesia.
The vertical ray of the sun strikes the earth where?
The vertical ray of the sun strikes the Earth directly at the equator. This phenomenon occurs during the equinoxes when the sun is directly above the equator, causing equal day and night lengths at all locations on Earth.
Is equator an ocean?
No, it's an imaginary line all around the Earth. It crosses some oceans, and it crosses some continents.
Is the equator a line of longitude that runs around the middle of earth?
Nope. The equator is the line formed by all points on Earth with zero latitude.It crosses all longitudes.
Occurs when earth crosses the orbit of a meteriod cluster?
Meteor shower
Where on earth does evaporation occurs?
it occurs in warm ocean areas near the equator
Which imaginary lines crosses through Africa?
Latitudes and longitudes cross the whole Earth. The Equator crosses only those places close to the middle.
Equinox occurs when?
It is the time and date, twice each year when the sun crosses the equator. It makes night and day equal all over the Earth. In Spring March 21st and in Autumn September 22nd.
Why is the earth wider in the middle?
The Earth is wider in the middle due to its rotation, which causes it to bulge at the equator. This phenomenon, known as equatorial bulge, occurs because the centrifugal force from the spinning motion pushes outwards at the equator. As a result, the diameter of the Earth is about 43 kilometers (27 miles) larger at the equator compared to the poles. This shape is classified as an oblate spheroid rather than a perfect sphere.
Does the equator run through Britain?
No, the equator does not run through Britain. It actually crosses through only 20 percent of the land surface on the earth.
What is the difference between equator and equinox?
The Equator is an imaginary line (great circle) on the Earth's surface, which is equidistant from both the geographic poles and lies in a plane perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.An Equinox is either of the two times during a year when the sun crosses the celestial equator. At this time, the length of day and night are approximately equal as the Sun is exactly above the Equator.The vernal equinox occurs around March 21, when the Sun moves north across the celestial equator. The autumnal equinox falls around September 23, as the Sun crosses the celestial equator going south.
How many times does the earth cross the galactic equinox in 1 cycle of the galaxy?
The galactic alignment occurs once every 26,000 years but Earth crosses the Milky Way's galactic plane (also called the galactic equator) twice a year, every year.
Where does sunlight hit earth at a 90 degree angle?
Sunlight hits the Earth at a 90-degree angle at the equator during the equinoxes, which occur around March 21 and September 23 each year. At these times, the sun is directly overhead at noon at the equator. This phenomenon occurs because the Earth's tilt is such that the sun's rays strike the equator directly, leading to equal day and night lengths across the globe.
