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 beginning point for measuring latitude lines is the Equator. It is located at zero degrees and marks the dividing point between the north and south hemispheres. The zero-degree longitude line runs through Greenwich, England and is called the prime meridian. The prime meridian and the equator intersect in the South Atlantic Ocean. Why is the equator important? The equator is the point where we divide the north and south hemispheres.
