Question

Which is the definition of the equator?

Answer 1

The equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth around its midpoint and is equidistant from the North Pole and the South Pole. It is defined as the line of 0 degrees latitude and is the reference point for all other latitude measurements.

The equator divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles) long and is located about 13 kilometers (8 miles) above the Earth's surface. The Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, with the equator being the point of maximum rotational speed. This causes the equator to experience the highest solar energy, the longest days, and the shortest nights of any location on Earth.

Answer 2

The equator is an imaginary line that splits the earth into two sections, the north and south hemispheres. The closer you are to the equator, the more hot it is.
