Answer:
The angle that the lines of force make with the Earth's surface at any given place is called the Angle of Dip and varies from 0 degrees at the magnetic equator, to virtually 90 degrees at the magnetic poles. ... Thus, the angle of dip at the magnetic equator of the Earth will be 0 degrees.

Angle of dip at the equator is equal to 0° because the the magnetic lines of forces are perfectly horizontal such that even the magnetic needle is horizontal there.
