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.
Every latitude on the Earth is measured north or south from the Equator. The Equator is a line that marks the exact halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole. The plane of the Equator is at 90 degrees to the Earth's rotational axis. The tropics are two other important parallels.
