On your map or globe, make a tiny dot that's exactly halfway between the north
and south poles. Then turn the globe a bit and make another dot. Then make a
million or a trillion more, each one exactly halfway between the north and south
poles. When you have enough dots, they'll blend together to look like a line
around the Earth's 'middle', halfway between the poles. That's the equator.
Why is the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?
The weight of an object is less at the equator compared to the poles due to the centripetal force produced by the Earth's rotation. At the equator, this force partially counteracts the force of gravity, effectively reducing the object's weight. This difference in weight is more noticeable for objects with larger mass.
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere
What place does the prime meridian meet on the globe?
The prime meridian does not meet. It starts at the north pole and ends at the south pole, passing through Greenwich, London. At the poles it becomes the anti-meridian or the international date line
What is the only that does not extend both north and south of the equator?
There are five oceans that span the Earth, which cover more than seventy percent of its surface. Two of these oceans, the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, do not extent north and south of the equator.

Each half of the earth is called a hemisphere. These are divisions of Earth's sphere that follow longitudinal and latitudinal lines to divide the earth into two parts. Earth can either be divided into to northern and southern hemispheres or eastern and western hemispheres.
The temperature along the equator tends to be?
The temperature is usually hotter closer to the equator.
Define equator zone latitude and longitude?
The equator is an imaginary line around the Earth's middle, at 0 degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The equator does not have a longitude, as it is a line of reference only for latitude.
The equator is an imaginary line that divides the world into two halves.
It is also the boundary between north and south, each half is called a "hemisphere", one half being called the northern hemisphere, and the other half being called the southern hemisphere.
Is it warm or Cool near the equator?
0-500m above the sea level, most certainly warm but the higher you go the cooler the climate gets
The noun 'equator' is a common noun as a general word for any circle dividing a sphere or other surface into two equal symmetrical parts.
The noun 'equator' when used as 'the Equator', the specific imaginary line encircling the Earth equidistant from the poles can be capitalized as a proper noun but it is not mandatory. In most sentences using the term 'the equator' it is treated as a common noun, for example: We will cross the equator on our cruise.
What also divides the earth into hemispheres?
You can imagine an enormous knife, cutting the Earth into two pieces. Whenever the center of the Earth is on the cut, the pieces are equal, and they're both hemispheres.
If you cut through the equator, then you have the northern and southern hemispheres.
If you cut through the Prime Meridian, then you have the eastern and western ones..
If you cut any other way, then you have a couple of hemispheres that are not of much use to anyone, since they have no relationship to the Earth's rotation, and those don't have names.
