1 Notably, the Equator refers to the Earth âs equator, per above: an imaginary line on the Earth âs surface equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole, dividing the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The Equator is one of the five notable circles of latitude on Earth, with the others being the two Polar Circles and the two Tropical Circles: the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. 2  The imaginary circle obtained when the Earth âs equator is projected onto the sky is called the celestial equator.
The Earth is rotating on its axis, turning around once a day. Points on the equator are moving in a circle more than 1,600 km/hour. This creates a centrifugal force that pulls regions of the equator outward and flattens the poles. The distance to the center of the Earth from the equator is 6,378 km or 3,963 miles. And the distance to the center of the Earth from the poles is only 6,356 km or 3,949 miles. Thatâs a difference of 22 km. In other words, if youâre standing on the equator, youâre 22 km further away from the center of the Earth than someone standing on the North Pole.
