When is the sun vertically overhead of the Equator?

The sun is vertically overhead at the Equator during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20-21 and September 22-23 each year. During these times, the sun's rays are directly perpendicular to the Equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths across the globe.

Why do the areas near the Equator only have two seasons?

The Earth is round. Its axis weeble wobbles throughout the year causing the seasons: In the summer the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun, making it warmer; in the winter the Southern Hemisphere gets its turn being closer to the sun. The whole time, however, the Equator is relatively closer, and the fluctuation isn't nearly as drastic.

How many times would 23 trillion dollar bills wrap around the earth?

A mole is equal to 6.022*10^23. The length of a dollar bill is 15.596 cm. Depending on the teacher, you might need the circumference of the earth going through the poles or around the equator. So I'll do both. The circumference through the: Equator is 40,075.16 km. Poles is 40,008 km. To solve you need to find out how long one mole of dollar bills is. (6.022*10^23)(15.596)=9.392*10^24 Then you need to divide this number by the circumference of your choice. (9.392*10^24)/EQUATOR(C) = 5.858*10^15 (9.392*10^24)/POLES(C) = 2.348*10^20 So depending, your answer would be either 5,858,000,000,000,000 or 234,800,000,000,000,000,000 respectively. mischief managed.

Where is African in relation to the equator?

The equator passes over Africa throu gabon Congo, DRC, Uganda, Kenya

Are the lines longitude half the the size of the equator?

Yes. Almost exactly. The equator is a full circle around the Earth, but a meridian of

longitude connects the north and south poles, so it's a semicircle. The only reason a

meridian isn't exactly half the length of the equator is that the Earth's polar diameter

is not exactly the same as its equatorial diameter. The Earth is slightly 'shorter' than

it is 'wide', which is also occasionally true of some people you see walking around.
