What is the Equator?

• A line which passes through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich in London. It was adopted internationally as the zero of longitude.

• A measurement of location east or west of the prime meridian at Greenwich, the specially designated imaginary north-south line that passes through both geographic poles and Greenwich.

• A line drawn on the earth dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres at the parallel of latitude 0°

• Are angles measured with the center of the earth as an origin.
