Equator

Sri Lanka is north of the equator.

Yes, whirlpool directions are affected by being north or south of the equator due to the Coriolis effect. In the Northern Hemisphere, whirlpools rotate clockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate counterclockwise. This is a result of the Earth's rotation and its impact on fluid dynamics.

The equator passes through South America, Africa, and Asia. The prime meridian passes through Europe and Africa. The Tropic of Capricorn passes through Australia, South America, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. The Tropic of Cancer passes through North America, Africa, and Asia.

Christopher Columbus crossed both the Equator and the Prime Meridian during his voyages to the Americas. The Equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles, while the Prime Meridian is the line of longitude that passes through Greenwich, England, dividing the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Columbus crossed the Equator when he sailed to South America and the Prime Meridian on his way to the Caribbean islands.

Tropical climate, characterized by consistently warm temperatures and high humidity, is found in most areas near the equator. Rainfall is abundant year-round, leading to lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems.

If you are talking about the Dominican Republic it is above

The coffee growers of Colombia are closer to the equator than the nomads of the Sahara. Colombia is situated near the equator in South America, while the Sahara desert is in North Africa, further away from the equator.

The altitude of Polaris at the equator is 0 degrees. This means that Polaris is directly on the horizon and not visible at all from the equator. Polaris can only be seen in the northern hemisphere at latitudes above 23.5 degrees.

Denpasar in Bali lies 8.65 degrees south of the equator.

Each degree of Latitude is around 111 kilometers

Therefore Bali is about 960 Kilometers or 596 miles south of the equator.

Places near the poles receive less direct sunlight due to the tilt of Earth's axis, leading to colder temperatures year-round. Additionally, the cold polar air remains trapped due to the Earth's rotation and atmospheric circulation patterns. The presence of ice and snow in polar regions also reflects sunlight, further reducing temperatures.

Near the equator, climates tend to be tropical, characterized by high temperatures and humidity year-round. These areas typically experience consistent rainfall and lush vegetation due to their proximity to the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Temperatures remain relatively stable with minimal seasonal variation.

about 3600 miles from the equator; 5800 kilometers.

The southernmost point of Mexico is located at the latitude 14°32'04.53''N, meaning Mexico is a little more than 14.5 degrees north of the Equator, or at a distance of some 991 miles (1,595 Kilometers) from it.

Well, I think it will swing faster in the equator than at the poles because T=sq. root l/q says that when the gravity increases, the time decreases and when the gravity decreases time increases. Thus it will swing slower at the poles than in the equator

Climates farther from the equator receive less direct sunlight due to the curvature of the Earth, resulting in cooler temperatures. Additionally, the angle at which sunlight reaches the Earth's surface at higher latitudes leads to less heat being absorbed, contributing to cooler temperatures in these regions.

The equator experiences a tropical climate, characterized by high temperatures and humidity year-round. This climate zone typically has consistent sunlight and abundant rainfall, resulting in lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems.

They're warmer because the sun's average altitude in the sky at mid-day

all year around is higher in the tropics than anywhere else on Earth.

They're certainly not dryer, though. The world's rain forests are predominantly

tropical, and based on total annual precipitation, the largest, most arid desert

in the world is the Antarctic continent.

The doldrums belt is located near the equator, between 5 degrees north and south. It is known for its calm winds and low pressure areas, making it difficult for sailors to navigate through.

1. Precipitation occurs when water droplets in clouds grow large enough to fall to the ground due to gravity.
2. The key processes that lead to this growth include condensation, coalescence, and collision of water droplets in clouds.

The rotation rate at the equator of the Sun is approximately 25 days, meaning that it takes about 25 days for the Sun to complete one full rotation at its equator.

Yes because the sun is very strong near the equator which means more evaporation happens. The more evaporation the more condensation. AKA the water cycle.

The equator passes through three continents in South America: South America, Africa, and Asia.

Brazzaville is the closest to the equator out of Brazzaville, Broome, Baku, and The British Isles.
