Answer:
middle of Africa lies right across the equator
Step-by-step explanation:
At its greatest length, Africa is 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) long. At its widest, it is 4,600 miles (7,360 kilometers) across. The middle of Africa lies right across the equator, in the Tropical Zone. This makes the climate far hotter than Europe or America. North of Africa are the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea. On the east are the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean. On the west is the Atlantic Ocean, which meets the Indian Ocean at the Cape of Good Hope on Africa's southwestern corner. Africa is in the Eastern Hemisphere and since the equator crosses it, it is in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
