The equator is the imaginary line that divides the Earth in half. It is a circle around the Earth at its widest point, equidistant from both poles. The bulge of the planet at the equator is cause by the Earth's rotation, as is the corresponding flattening at the poles.


The Equator, Ecuador is located right on the line, which is where it gets its name from.

The imaginary line that divides earth in half is the equator. At the equator, temperatures are extremely hot. Also, latitude and longitude are imaginary lines on earth that divide earth into eastern and western hemispheres. GPS (Global Positioning System) can help you find your absolute location on earth. GPS is most often used in cars to help the driver find out where to go/where they are if they are lost.
