Equator

Tahiti is part of the islands known as French Polynesia. Tahiti is 11.090 miles below the equator. It is the same distance as Hawaii is from the equator.

The 25th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 25 degrees north of the equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, Asia, North America, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Indian Ocean.

Egypt is in Africa.

Egypt is in Africa. Positioned far north of the continent

The Equator is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole that divides the Earth into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere.

an imaginary line dividing the earth in half horizontally

^ The Equator is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole that divides the Earth into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere.

The band around the middle of the Earth, separating the northern from the southern hemispheres.

Earths equator is an imaginary line equally distant from both Pole's. It goes horizontally around Earth's middle.

^ It is also the point where both 0 degrees latitude and longitude orginate.This areas also reseives the most sunglican anually and is home to a region referred to as the Tropics.

The equator is an imaginary line that runs around the middle section of the earth. It is hotter there than at the north and south poles because the tilt of the earth on its axis causes the equatorial region to receive more direct sun rays than the poles.

The Kalahari is spead across 3 countries: South Africa, Namibia and Botswana

The equator runs through three South American countries. The single country that gets its name from the equator is Ecuador.

Yes and no.

Uganda . . . yes.

Peru . . . no.

The answer is Ecuador, Columbia, and Brazil.

The diameter of the Earth through the Poles is only slightly less than the diameter across the Equator

Polar diameter = 12713.6 km

Equatorial diameter = 12,756.2 km

Which is a difference of just 42.6 km - or less than 0.34%

Because they get midsummer twice a year and midwinter twice a year. The sun is never very far from being overhead at noon even in winter.

No, it does not. The equator passes through the Indian Ocean south of Sri Lanka.

No, no part of India is south of the equator.

The Line of Demarcation split South America into sections for the countries which claimed it. The Line of Demarcation was drawn by Pope Alexander in 1493.

No they are not all the same temperature but it is warm.

The angle at which the suns rays hit the earth is more nearly perpendicular, therefore more energy is delivered per unit area. Secondly the rays pass through much less atmosphere so less energy is absorbed by the atmosphere.

You do not get all four seasons when you live near the equator because it is almost the same temperature all year round so there is no need to have a season when you are having the same weather all year.

There are six African countries that lie on the equatorial line. They are Gabon, Congo, DR Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia.

The Amazon River flows mostly northwards throughout its journey and enters the Atlantic Ocean on the Equator, thus the only point the Amazon is on the Equator is at its mouth

There is no official set of "lines". Some globes and maps have more lines, spaced closer

together. Some globes and maps have fewer lines, spaced farther apart. Some globes

and maps have no lines at all. We have no way of knowing how many latitudes are

marked on the globe or map that you're looking at today, and the next one you see

may be marked at a different interval.
