The equator is an imaginary line running around the widest part of the Earth, halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole. North of the Equator, you're in the Northern Hemisphere. South of the Equator, you're in the Southern Hemisphere. North America, Europe, Africa and Asia are mostly in the Northern Hemisphere.
The Equator is the line of 0Â° latitude, the starting point for measuring latitude. The latitude of the North Pole is 90Â° N, and that of the South Pole is 90Â° S. The latitude of every point in between must be some degree north or south, from 0Â° to 90Â°. One degree of latitude covers about 69 miles (111 kilometers).
