Equator

It's estimated that it would take about 40 million anacondas to wrap around the Earth's equator. This calculation is based on the average length of an anaconda (15 feet) and the circumference of the Earth at the equator (24,901 miles).

The equator is the exact middle of the earth. The earth is a sphere, so if you imagine a line stretching all the way around the middle of the earth. That's the equator. You can't physically see it, there's no physical line there.

As you move north in latitude, the climate generally becomes cooler. This shift is due to various factors, including the angle of sunlight, distance from the equator, and proximity to polar regions. Generally, temperatures decrease and climates become more temperate or even polar as you move towards the North Pole.

The South China Sea, the Philippine Sea, and the Java Sea all run through the equator.

To draw a great circle on a sphere, start by defining the diameter as the largest circle that can be drawn on the sphere's surface. For small circles, choose a point on the sphere and draw a circle with that point as the center and the radius less than the sphere's radius. Remember that the center of a small circle lies outside the circle on a sphere's surface.

Some European countries that are north of the equator include Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and many others.

Yes, the prime meridian is defined as 0 degrees longitude and serves as the starting point for measuring longitude around the globe. It runs through Greenwich, London, and divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the precise location and the date in question. Please re-post your question with the date and the city name or ZIP code. If you add the WikiAnswers category "Sunset Times", I'll see it.

You can calculate the time of sunrise and sunset easily by visiting the United States Naval Observatory web site's Sunrise & Sunset calculator. You will need the date, city and state for US locations, or the date, latitude, longitude and time zone for any other locations in the world.

You can also calculate the times of sunrise and sunset for one year at a given location at the site:

Neither...it would be the same as anywhere else...the sun is always in the same spot at high noon.If I'm wrong correct me,but I've traveled many places north and south and the sun has never moved from it's original spot in the sky at that certain time.

Yes, the equator passes through Uganda, near the town of Masaka. There are marked spots along the equator where visitors can have fun experiences like balancing eggs on their ends, showcasing the unique phenomenon of zero latitude.

No, the equator is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface that divides the planet into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The sun is a star at the center of the solar system that emits light and heat.

England is located at approximately 51.5 degrees north latitude. The distance from the equator to any point on Earth is measured in degrees of latitude, so England is 51.5 degrees north of the equator.

The region located between 23.5 degrees north and south of the equator is known as the Tropics. This area includes the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south. The Tropics have a warm climate and are characterized by a diversity of plant and animal species.

Yes you do. One degree of longitude spans about 69 miles along the equator, but no

distance at all at the poles. The longitudes are evenly distributed around the globe,

but they all converge (meet) at both poles. So it's easy to understand why they must

draw closer and closer together as you move from the equator to either pole.

Yes, if you move from the equator towards the North Pole, you would receive less solar radiation because the angle of the sunlight hitting the Earth's surface becomes more oblique. This oblique angle causes the same amount of solar energy to be spread out over a larger area, resulting in less intensity of sunlight.

The distance around the Earth's equator is approximately 4,007,500,000cm.

The largest country through which the equator passes is Brazil. The equator crosses northern Brazil near the city of Macapá.

They are called "jack studs" above the opening and "king studs" below the opening. These studs help support the header above the opening in a framed wall structure.

The distance between 1 degree of longitude decreases towards the poles due to the convergence of the lines of longitude at the poles, which are closer together compared to at the equator. This happens because the Earth is a sphere and not flat, and the lines of longitude converge towards the poles.

The equator experiences approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness throughout the year due to its position on the Earth's axis. This means the equator has days and nights of equal length.

Sao Paulo, Brazil is south of the Equator.

The Panama Canal is mostly north of the equator. It extends from about 8 degrees north latitude to 9 degrees north latitude.

A city near the equator can have a cool climate if it is at a high elevation. Because temperature decreases with altitude, cities situated in mountainous regions near the equator may experience cooler temperatures. Additionally, proximity to large bodies of water, such as oceans or lakes, can also moderate temperatures and contribute to a cooler climate.

As you move towards the equator, generally, temperatures increase due to the more direct angle of sunlight hitting the surface. This results in warmer climates near the equator compared to regions further from it.
