The equator is the imaginary circle that draws a line between the Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere. It is the point from where the latitude is calculated. In other words, the equator is at 0° latitude. The prime meridian is the vertical line that marks the zero degree longitude measurement on the globe of Earth and intersects the latitude lines, which are horizontal.

The term equator is derived from the Latin phrase, 'circulus aequator diei et noctis', meaning ‘circle equalizing day and night’. The equator is the imaginary circle that draws a line between the Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere. It is the point from where the latitude is calculated. In other words, the equator is at 0° latitude. It is one of the main imaginary latitude circles , which is actually based on the relationship between the Earth’s axis of rotation.

In simple terms, equator is the imaginary circle, which cuts the spherical Earth exactly in the middle, i.e. in two halves. At latitude 0° (the equator), the day length will be approximately 12 hours. Parts on the equator have a constant 12 hours of day light all year round
