What will happen according to science when the Earth passes through the galactic equator in 2012?
This is actually two separate questions. Be sure you read both answers. "What will happen when the Earth passes through the galactic equator?" The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy in about 200-250 million years. However, the Sun's movement is not a simple ellipse; it's more complicated than that and it bobs up and down as it moves. It oscillates around 2.7 times for every orbit, and some scientists think that the periods when it is moving through the denser regions of the galactic plane coincide with mass extinction events on Earth. "What does 2012 have to do with this?" Absolutely nothing. The 2012 scare is a hoax/myth/scam. The Sun is not currently particularly close to the galactic equator and it won't be significantly closer in 2012.
Why are rockets launched as close to the equator as possible?
Rockets are launched as close to the equator as possible to launch satellites most economically by taking full advantage of the Earth's rotational velocity, which is about 1000 miles per hour at the equator and slower at all higher latitudes. This is 1000 miles per hour less speed that the rocket needs to provide and a significant savings in rocket fuel.
However, other rockets are not launched from the equator as there is no similar advantage (e.g. rockets launching polar orbiting satellites or military warheads can be launched from anyplace and going to the equator to launch them would be an unnecessary expense with many disadvantages).
What is the biggest country that the equator passes through?
The equator passes through Brazil, which is the largest country it intersects. Approximately 6% of Brazil's land area is located along the equator.

Do you have two winters per year on the equator?
There are no summers or winters near the equator because the temperatures vary little throughout the year. There are "dry" and "rainy" seasons, which like the summer and winter are caused by differences in solar heating as the apparent track of the Sun is to the north or south of the equator.
Do places on the equator get seasons just like Britain?
No. Near the equator the sun is always very high in the sky so freezing temperatures can not occur.

What is the term for the position the sun reaches when its directly above earths equator?
The word you're fishing for is "equinox", but I know for a fact that it is not the position
that the sun reaches. I've been unclear on whether it's the place in the Earth's orbit
where the axis is not inclined toward or away from the sun, or the point in time when
the Earth reaches that place. In order to answer your question with some confidence,
I went off elsewhere and immersed myself in literally minutes of concentrated research
on the topic. I have learned that the equinox is the point in time.
What is distance between Texas and equator?
There is no city called 'equator'. Please improve the question.
