What imaginary line goes around the earth from north to south?
The lines that run north and south are called meridians of longitude.
(The north and south poles are the ends of every meridian, so each one
only goes half-way around the globe.)
Why are places with high temperature found at equator?
The earth's temperature is hotter at the equator and colder at the poles because of the difference in the angle of the sun's rays. Since the earth is round, the sun's rays hit different areas at different angles; the higher the latitude the more slanted are the sun's rays. In tropical or lower latitude areas the sun stays more or less overhead throughout the year. Since direct rays provide more heat than rays at an angle, the tropics receive the most heat and have the warmest average temperatures.

Why does Quito have a pleasant climate throughout the year?
Quito
(kēˈtō)[
key], city (1990 pop. 1,100,847), N central Ecuador, capital of Ecuador and of Pichincha prov. After Guayaquil it is Ecuador's largest city. The setting of Quito is visually splendid: It lies at the foot of the Pichincha volcano in the hollow of a gently sloping, fertile valley. Only a short distance below the equator but at an elevation of 9,350 ft (2,850 m), Quito has a pleasant, balmy climate; however, it is subject to earthquakes and has been damaged several times. The city has textile mills and handicraft and other minor industries, but it is primarily as the educational, cultural, and political center of Ecuador that Quito is important. It is the seat of the Central Univ. of Ecuador and of the oldest art school in Latin America. The site was originally settled by the Quito people. It was captured by the Inca and became the capital of the Inca Kingdom of Quito a few decades before Sebastián de Benalcázar arrived and captured it for Spain (1534). In 1663, Quito became the seat of an audiencia, with boundaries foreshadowing that of present-day Ecuador. Quito was shifted back and forth between the viceroyalty of Peru and that of
New Granada. There was an abortive uprising against Spain in 1809, and not until 1822 was the city liberated by Antonio José de
Sucre. Quito has a Spanish colonial atmosphere, with many examples of fine early architecture, notably the great Church of San Francisco (see
Spanish colonial art and architecture). Much of the city's population is Native American.

Why are the equator and the prime meridian so important?
If there was no equator, how would we know exactly where the Northern Hemisphere is split by the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa? Ultimately we would have to take an imaginary guess but it is the center of the earth and I believe that that is why it is important for navigational purposes as well.
