Equator

The equatorial radius of Jupiter is 71,492 kilometres ± 4 (over 11 times that of earth), so the equator measures about 449,200 kilometres

That's the center of the earth so most of the salt goes there

Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.

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.

• Yes,
• The Latitude of Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast in English) is north to the equator (it has 8 degrees of latitude).
• The center of Abidjan is about 590 km (370 miles) north of the equator.

Yes, you've got the right idea, but they're only horizontal

if you're holding your map the right way.

Also known as the equatorial plate, a cell equator refers to the middle part of the cell. This is where chromosomes line up during the metaphase stage of mitosis

The latitude of the equator is zero degrees. North latitude is measured northward beginning at the equator. South latitude is measured southward beginning at the equator.
Yes, the equator is the line of zero degrees latitude.
0 there is none it is zero!
Zero degrees (by definition).
0 degrees
The equator is at 0 degrees latitude.

The equator is the centerline of the Tropical Zone.

No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.

The latitude and longitude lines can cover the globe to form a grid, called a graticule. The point of origin of the graticule is (0,0), where the equator and the prime meridian intersect. Source: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/

The tropics is the area of Earth surrounding the equator. It extends from about 23.5 degrees (1600 miles) north of the equator to about 23.5 degrees (1600 miles) south. This is from about Durango, Mexico to the middle of Bolivia.

The equator crosses states of Ecuador, Colombia, and Brazil, as well as

states or provinces of the African and Asian countries that straddle it.

It doesn't cross any place in the USA.

No Canada is about 50 degrees of latitude north of the equator.

Declination (positive and negative respectively) is the angular distance between north and south of the Celestial Equator.

This is only true for the northern hemisphere.

The reason is that the further south you go, the more directly overhead the sun is on average. The means that there is more heat from the sun per square mile.

At 30 degrees north or south of the equator, air descending to Earth's surface creates steady high-pressure zones known as subtropical highs. These areas typically experience dry and stable weather conditions due to the sinking air suppressing cloud formation and precipitation.
