The Equator

• The equator is located at zero degrees latitude.• The equator runs through Indonesia, Ecuador, northern Brazil,

the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Kenya, among other countries.

• It is 24,901.55 miles long.• On the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on the

two equinoxes - near March and September 21.

•The equator divides the planet into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Yea!!Northern Hemisphere!!!

• Because the Northern Hemisphere has more land area than the Southern Hemisphere it should also be noted that the majority of Earth's population and its largest cities are also in its northern half. Some estimates say that the Northern Hemisphere is approximately 39.3% land, while the Southern half is only 19.1% land.

Is it day or night in your hemisphere?
