Does the moon have a equator?

the moon do have a equator, just like Earth.

An equation with a degree of 2?

An equation with a degree of 2 is called a quadratic equation. At least one term in the equation will have a variable raised to the second power, e.g. x²

Which climate type is found only near the Equator?

Tropical climate is found only near the Equator. This climate is characterized by warm temperatures year-round, high humidity, and abundant rainfall. It is typically found within about 25 degrees latitude of the Equator.

What countries have land at 135 degrees west?

Some of the countries that have land at 135 degrees west longitude include the United States (Alaska), Canada, and Russia. These countries might have territories or regions that stretch to or are located near this line of longitude.

Is South America south or north of the equater?

The Equator crosses South America, about 20% of South America is north of the equator and 80% is south of the equator.
Both, actually. The equator line runs through the northern part. But, the majority of South America is south of the equator.

Measure of how closely one thing is related to another?

This is referred to as correlation, which quantifies the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. The correlation coefficient can range from -1 to 1, where values closer to 1 indicate a strong positive relationship, values close to -1 indicate a strong negative relationship, and a value of 0 indicates no relationship.

Why does the heat equator shift further north in July than it shifts south in January?

The heat equator shifts further north in July because during this time, the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer, resulting in warmer temperatures and pushing the warmer air and weather systems northward. In contrast, in January, the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer, but the shift southward of the heat equator is limited by the vast ocean mass in the south hemisphere.

If two trains on the equator start at the same point but facing in opposite directions which train will reach the point where it started first?

Both trains will reach the starting point at the same time since they are moving in opposite directions on the equator, which forms a complete loop. The distance traveled by both trains will be the same, so they will meet at the starting point simultaneously.

What are the continents which lie on the equator?

The continents that lie on the equator are Africa, South America, and Asia.

Is Sri Lanka close to the equator?

Yes, Sri Lanka is located near the equator.

How far is the Equator from Chicago?

Chicago is at 41° 59' N latitude. The equator is a 0°N.

Basically, it's 42°(1° in latitude change is 69.2 miles
) * 69.2 miles = 2,906.4 miles

How is the temperature near the poles different from near the equator?

Imagine you are shining a torch on a globe, the top and the bottom would get the least light from the torch. The sun is like a torch for Earth, but the sun is much bigger than a torch shining on a much bigger ball. The sun's rays shine much more strongly in the middle of the Earth and much more weakly in the poles. The sun's rays create heat, and rays that are shining strongly create more heat. When I say this, you will be guessing that the equator is the hottest part of the Earth. Well actually it's not the hottest because of the Earth's tilt.

What is the distance from Seattle to the equator?

3,589 miles

Update by ffinybryn:

Seattle is at Latitude 47d36'35" or 47.60972222 degrees of a Great Circle from the Equator.

Assuming a Mean Earth radius of 6371Km:

Distance to Equator is (47d36'35"/360) x 2 x pi x 6371 km

= 5294 km

= 3290 miles

Does the equator receive oblique rays?

Sure. A single point on the equator receives direct solar rays at one instant of time

sometime around March 21. Another single point on the equator receives direct solar

rays at another instant of time sometime around September 22. Those two points receive

oblique/indirect solar rays at all other times, and all other points on the equator

receive them at all times.

Convergence zone at the equator?

The convergence zone at the equator is known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). It is characterized by the meeting of trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres, resulting in a band of low pressure where ascending air leads to large-scale cloud formation and rainfall. The ITCZ is a region of important atmospheric circulation and a key component of global climate patterns.

If you traveled from north America to Europe would have to cross the equator?

no

The equator isn't anywhere near the United States or Europe. It passes through the upper part of S. America and the Middle part of Africa.

What continent has islands and the equator crossing it?

Africa is the continent that has islands such as São Tomé and Príncipe, which are located on or near the equator. The equator runs through various African countries, including Gabon, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia.

Is Venezuela north or south of the equator?

Venezuela is located north of the equator.

Why does the equator have a hot climate?

I don't know but could we have an answer soon because I need it for a project!! Thank you! The equator has an equatorial climate because of the angle to the sun. It is only found 5 degrees north or south to the equator. An equatorial climate is where it is hot and wet all year round, this provides the most luxuriant vegetation found in the world. Annual rainfall averages out at about 2000 mm per year. Tropical rainforest are found in the equatorial climate, and 1,000 types of trees are found there too. Hope this is good enough :) good luck with the project

Is Quito near the equator?

Yes, Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is located very close to the equator. In fact, it is one of the cities in the world that is closest to the equator, which is why it experiences a relatively consistent climate throughout the year.

When you get closer to the equator does it get colder or hotter?

Because the Equator is like the line of where the sun goes round. Therefore it would be warmer there. So if your not near the Equator it's most likely to be colder, cause your not in the direct line of sun. Although, Australia is really hot and they aren't in the Equator area, so...Maybe they're just lucky :P

Does the Equator pass through Sudan or through Somalia?

Somalia.

Sudan and Ethiopia are north of the equator, but Somalia extends south, just barely to the equator, which passes through Uganda, Kenya, and Lake Victoria in eastern Africa.

Please look at a map of Africa and see where those places are.
