Equator

The equator has a tilt of 0 degrees relative to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This means that it is perpendicular to the axis of the Earth's rotation, and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

The horizontal line that goes around the "waist" of the Earth is the Equator. The vertical line that goes vertically around the Earth, through the poles, is the Prime Meridian.

Near the equator, the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface directly, leading to consistent high temperatures. This constant heat results in minimal temperature variations and relatively stable weather conditions throughout the year. Additionally, the equator's proximity to large bodies of water helps regulate temperatures and maintain a consistent climate.

It matters how far or near you are to the equator because the closer you are to the equator the hotter your climate is. For example, the climate in Florida is much warmer than the climate in Canada. This is because the equator is MUCH closer to Florida than it is to Canada.

Scientists have found many fossils of mammoths. For example, mammoth bones are quite common in the La Brea Tar Pits, in southern California. Many woolly mammoth carcasses have been found that were exquisitely preserved because they have been frozen ever since they died.

There is a very minimal amount of daylight in the North Pole. By the equator, there is much more sunlight and a much more warmer climate.

California is not in the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn. It is located in the Northern Hemisphere at a higher latitude.

Standing on the equator, you would not see any circumpolar stars. Circumpolar stars are those that never dip below the horizon, and they can only be seen from latitudes above a certain threshold, typically around 25 degrees (North or South) or higher. The closer you are to the poles, the more circumpolar stars you can see.

All 50 states in the USA are north of the equator. Even Hawaii ... the state with the farthest-south territory ... lies entirely north of about 19 degrees north latitude.

Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world is in the Northern Hemisphere.

The equator and the Greenwich Meridian meet at a point located in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of West Africa. This point is near the intersection of zero degrees latitude (equator) and zero degrees longitude (Greenwich Meridian), making it a significant location in terms of navigation and geography.

Crops that grow near the equator include tropical fruits such as bananas, mangoes, pineapples, and papayas, as well as coffee, cocoa, and various types of nuts such as cashews and macadamia nuts. These crops thrive in the warm and humid conditions found in equatorial regions.

There are actually two oceans that do not span the Equator. These are the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean.

The angle is called the azimuth angle. It represents the direction of the point or projected line from the observer in relation to the north-south line. It is measured clockwise from the north direction.

No, Peru is not on the Equator. It is located in South America, and its latitude ranges from about 0-18° South, which places it mainly in the Southern Hemisphere. The Equator lies north of Peru, passing through countries like Ecuador and Brazil.

Antarctica is the farthest continent from the Equator. It is situated mostly within the Antarctic Circle, which is located at a latitude of approximately 66.5 degrees south.

The axis is called an imaginary line because it is a concept used to help describe the orientation and rotation of an object, such as a planet or a spinning top. It is an abstract line drawn through the center of an object around which it rotates. While not physically visible, the axis helps us understand the movement and behavior of objects in space.

Earth is wider around the equator than around the prime meridian. This is due to the fact that the Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.

To determine the walking speed of a man on Mercury, we need to consider what apparatus and attire will be encumbering him or her, and also the effect of reduced gravity.

Of course, it would be impossible for our walker to carry all of the oxygen required for such an operation (let alone food supplies), so we will have to assume the existence of a support vehicle or vehicles capable of regularly resupplying the walker with oxygen tanks and supplies. Even then, we must assume our walker is at all times considerably encumbered by breathing apparatus. But given that in the future, oxygen tanks might be composed of very lightweight materials, let us say that this encumbrance imposes on average only a 5% penalty to walking speed.

A pressure suit will further encumber the intrepid explorer, though we might allow that advances in materials technology between the present day and the early colonisation of Mercury could all but eliminate this as a factor, so let us suppose that attire imposes only a further 5% penalty to walking speed.

Walking speed is thought to vary as the square root of g (the acceleration due to gravity), which in the case of Mercury results in a walking speed of 0.605 times the walking speed on Earth.

Taking all three factors into account, we obtain an estimate that the typical walking speed of our astronaut will be 0.546 times their typical unencumbered walking speed on Earth.

We can suppose that the individual is both reasonably tall and extremely fit, from which we could suppose an Earthbound typical walking speed of 6.5 kph (greater walking speeds are of course attainable but are unlikely to be sustainable), and multiplying our two figures results in a sustainable walking speed on Mercury of 3.55 kph.

Whilst the number of hours per Earth day at which such a walking rate could be sustained over a very long period is debatable, given that the surface of Mercury is hardly an ideal hiking environment it seems reasonable to limit our walker to 12 hours walking per Earth day.

This results in a typical progress of 42.6 kilometres per Earth day, and taking the circumference of Mercury to be 15,329 km, we arrive at a figure of just under 360 Earth days for a circumnavigation.

Of course, such an endeavour would be entirely impossible unless the walker was able to walk fast enough to follow the Mercurial twilight, since daytime temperatures are enormously too hot for human existence, and night-time temperatures enormously too cold.

Since the the Mercurial day lasts approximately 176 Earth days, we must conclude that the endeavour is sadly impossible, the walker's speed being less than half of that required to avoid freezing or burning to death within days.

Yes, the maximum value of acceleration due to gravity (g) is at the equator because the centrifugal force due to the Earth's rotation reduces the effective gravitational force. This results in a maximum g value at the equator compared to other latitudes.

This depends on the definition and conventions used by the reader to describe the

constitution of Earth's continents, and the answer is specifically affected by whether

the reader considers the country of Indonesia to be found in the continent of "Asia"

or "Oceania" or none, owing to the fact that Indonesia comprises island land masses

none of which are large enough to be described as a continent. Starting at the

International Date Line and moving west, the equator crosses the following 2011

continental countries: Indonesia (in the continent named "Asia", "Oceania" or "none",

depending on convention used) then Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of

Congo, Congo and Gabon, (in the continent named "Africa"), followed by Brazil,

Columbia and Ecuador (in the continent named "South America"). So, either two or

three continents are crossed, Africa and South America for certain, plus "Asia" or

"Oceania" if the land masses of Indonesia meet the reader's definition of a continent.

i can give u some seas but i myself dont know a lot about this.

Oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic,

Seas: Red, Indian,

Everyone please add to this list and i will try to come up with more.

The shifts in directions of free moving fluids like air and water are mainly influenced by pressure gradients, temperature differences, and the rotation of the Earth (Coriolis effect). Changes in these factors can result in the fluid moving in different directions to balance out the forces at play.

The distance between Cape Canaveral and the Equator is approximately 1,967 miles or 3165 km, as the crow flies.
