The equator passes through South America near the northern end of the continent. It passes just north of Quito in Ecuador, separates Colombia into about three quarters to the north and one third to the south, and then crosses the top of Brazil, passing through Macapa. macapÃ¡
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.
