the equator is a invisible line around the earth like a belt. It is about 40,075 kilometers long. About 78.7 % of it touches the oceans and about 23.3 % over land.
It also separates the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere. same person who answered did Egyptians invented math. : D
Yes, the equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth and divides it into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The equator itself is not physically visible, but its location can be determined on maps or by using GPS coordinates.
you can locate it on the map but if you were to go in the middle of the world, you wouldn't be able to find it
Since the equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, no, you can't see that line.
The equator is located in between the North and South Poles, at 0 degrees latitude.

Where would you see the least number of circumpolar stars?
At the equator, you will see no circumpolar stars.
What color is the equator?
The equator is an imaginary line. If you stood and looked at the ground at the equator, you would see....ground. The equator is not a mark on the surface of the Earth. On maps and globes it is usually a black line.
Is puerto vallarta close to the equator?
No, Puerto Vallarta is not close to the equator. It is located at approximately 20 degrees north of the equator.
What two hemispheres are separated by equator?
well let's see the northern and southern
How many circumpolar stars would you see if standing on the equator?
Standing on the equator, you would not see any circumpolar stars. Circumpolar stars are those that never dip below the horizon, and they can only be seen from latitudes above a certain threshold, typically around 25 degrees (North or South) or higher. The closer you are to the poles, the more circumpolar stars you can see.
Where would you see the least number of circumpolar stars?
At the equator, you will see no circumpolar stars.
Can people who live south of the Equator see the North Star?
No, due to the shape of the earth you can not see the North Star below the equator.
Do countries on the equator see all the constellations?
No, but the people who live in them can, if they want to.
Where would be if the Polaris is seen on the horizon?
Your at the equator if you see Polaris at the horizon
Where would you be if Polaris is seen on the horizon?
Your at the equator if you see Polaris at the horizon
Why can you see the sky from the north pole to the equator when you can only see a few miles of water to the horizon and you can't see airplane tracks that far away - I do not understand this?
What, exactly, did you see? - You can basically see anything for which you have line-of-sight, that is, if a straight line between the object and you doesn't go below the horizon. I think the questioner may be mixing up the "celestial equator" and the Earth's equator. The celestial equator is the "projection" of the Earth's equator onto the sky. It a great distance away, effectively at infinity. Let's consider the difference between the two equators. Normally, you can see only a few miles to the horizon, depending on your height above your surroundings. Obviously you can't see the Earth's equator from the North Pole. Things above ground such as airplane tracks can be seen when they are further away than the horizon, but still your visibility is limited by the Earth's surface. However, from the North Pole, you can see as far south in the sky as the celestial equator. So, you could just about see a star in that part of the sky. The stars are light years away, of course. Imagine you are near a distant star on the celestial equator. In theory, at that distance, you could see one full hemisphere of the Earth from pole to pole. So, someone at the Earth's North Pole could see that star. To sum up: it's because the stars are so far away that you can see a star on the celestial equator from the North Pole.
Is Jamaica south of the equator?
yrs,because imagine a line going straight through a globe,and u will see Jamaica is bellow the equator,welcome! :)

Is puerto vallarta close to the equator?
No, Puerto Vallarta is not close to the equator. It is located at approximately 20 degrees north of the equator.
Where on Earth could you see all the constellations rise and set?
You can see all the constellations rise and set from the equator. This is because the Earth's rotation axis is perpendicular to the line connecting the Earth to the Sun at the equator, allowing for a full view of the celestial sphere over the course of a year.
