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.
Equator: 0Â° 0' 0. The Equator is an imaginary circle drawn around a planet (or other astronomical object) at a distance halfway between the poles. By definition, the equator is latitude 0Â° 0' 0 and is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. An equinox in astronomy is the event when the Sun can be observed to be directly above the Earth's equator.
