Equator

The equator is at '0' degrees latitude. The degrees of latitude extend north and south of this .

Did you know that when you cross the equator on a ship, there is a traditional 'Crossing the line' ceremony carried out by sailors of many countries. If you have never crossed before ,you are dunked in a tank (or sometimes even the ocean) , and then introduced to "King Neptune" -Ruler of the Deep. (Usually the Bosun or another senior crew member in suitable disguise. ) -On many shipping lines they actually even give you a certificate ! -I have 'crossed' 18 times and still find it amusing.

Equator. The Latitude of a place is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator.

The only continents entirely north of the equator are Europe and North America (depends though if you consider the americas as one or two continents). South east asia (countries like Indonesia and New Guinea) is south of the equator, the rest is north of it. That makes Asia a continent which is on both hemispheres. Likewise this applies to Africa, where the bigger part of the continent is north of the equator; and as well to south america, where countries like Venezuela and Guyana are north and the big rest south of the equator. Australia is south of the equator, although there are a few islands north of the equator, that are considered to belong to the continent of Australia.

I'm not quite sure of my ground here, but here are my thoughts: Data: equatorial radius of the earth (r) = 6378137 m. equatorial gravitational field strength (g) = 9.78 Nkg-1 In order for the rotation of the earth to perfectly cancel weight, the gravitational field strength g should equal the centripetal acceleration, a. a = w2r where w is the Earth's angular velocity. If T is the duration of a day in seconds, then we can substitute w = 2 x pi / T giving a = 4pi2r / T2 Equating a to g: 4pi2r / T2 = 9.78 Rearranging to find T: T = sqrt(4pi2r / 9.78) Substituting pi = 3.1415... and r = 6378137 T = 5074 seconds (nearest second) which is 1 hour, 24 minutes and 34 seconds, or about 17 times shorter than an ordinary day.

The distance from the UK to the equator is approximately 3000-4000 miles, depending on the specific location in the UK. The equator runs through several countries in Africa, South America, and Asia, while the UK is located in Europe.

A degree of Latitude is 69 miles or 110kms

Chesapeake Bay cuts Maryland almost in half, separating the eastern and western parts of the state. It is the largest estuary in the United States.

Providence, Rhode Island and Boston, Massachusetts are the two closest US state capitals with a distance of only 41 miles.

Angular distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees, with 0 degrees at the equator, 90 degrees at the North Pole, and -90 degrees at the South Pole. This measure is known as latitude and helps to indicate a location's position in terms of its distance from the equator along Earth's surface.

The rainforest is near the equator because it receives consistent sunlight throughout the year, creating a warm and humid climate that is optimal for the growth of diverse plant and animal species. The high amount of rainfall and stable temperatures at the equator also contribute to the lush vegetation and biodiversity found in rainforests.

Canada and Land's End are on the 50th parallel, so Canada is due West of Land's End.

The two imaginary lines that divide the earth in half are the Equator (divides the earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres) and the Prime Meridian (divides the earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres).

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers). But, if you measure the earth through the poles the circumference is a bit shorter - 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km). This means the earth is a tad wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like).

Latitude lines run horizontally east and west at different distances from the equator and are called parallels, probably because they circle the earth at a constant distance from each other. We sometimes refer to certain areas by latitude as parallels. For example, A military boundary between North Korea and South Korea was set at the 38th parallel. Most of the boundary between the United States and (British) Canada was set at the 49th parallel.

longitude lines run north-south and are furthest from each other at the equator and come togegther at the poles.

Perth is the furthest from the equator among Athens, Perth, and Sydney. It is located at a latitude of about 31 degrees south, while Sydney is around 34 degrees south and Athens is approximately 37 degrees north of the equator.

Africa is mostly north of the equator. About 2/3 of the land area is in the Northern Hemisphere.
