<p>The Equator Is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. The length is around 24,901.5 miles (40,075 kilometers). Line across the continent of South America and Africa, as well as a number of islands, and walk through 14 countries, including Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe, Congo, Zaire, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, and Indonesia.</p><p>Location This imaginary line is shown in many fields, making it possible to stand with feet in every part of the world. The surrounding geographical area is known as the equatorial region, and they have certain types of climate.</p><p># Interesting facts</p><p>The length of the equator has been sheared very accurately by geographers and surveyors. According to a 2000 survey, for within 0.04 inches (1 mm) accuracy, it is 131,479,775 meters 6.92 inches (40,075,035,535 m). Because the earth experiences a slight bulge around the middle, the equator is slightly longer than the imaginary circle drawn between the poles. </p><p>If mountain heights are measured in terms of distance from the center of the earth, not more traditional heights above sea level, the world's highest mountain ‘not Everest, but the Chimborazo in Ecuador, whose peak is far from the center of the Earth compared to other mountains, due to very low latitudes.</p><p>Because the Earth rotates, someone standing on the equator travels faster than someone at high latitudes. Rotational speed at latitude 0 ° is 1,038 mph (1,670 kph), compared to 0 at the poles. For this reason, the equator is the ideal place to start a spaceship, as already, fast enough before launching and requires less fuel.</p>
