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 defined to be 0 degrees of latitude, the poles are then 90 degrees north and south latitude. <br /><br /> Longitude is a bit more arbitrary. A prime meridian is defined to exist, it is a line running between the north and south poles and passing through Greenwich England.
