One of the halves of the earth as divided by the equator or by a meridian. 2 : a half of a sphere. 3 : either the left or the right half of the cerebrum.

a half of a sphere. a half of the earth, usually as divided into northern and southern halves by the equator, or into western and eastern halves by an imaginary line passing through the poles. a half of the celestial sphere.

India is situated north of the equator between 8°4′ north (the mainland) to 37°6′ north latitude and 68°7′ east to 97°25′ east longitude. It is the seventh-largest country in the world, with a total area of 3,287,263 square kilometres (1,269,219 sq mi).

What regions on Earth do the flat, angled, and vertical thermometers represent? Places near Earth’s equator (like Ecuador and Singapore) are warm, while places near the poles (like Antarctica and Greenland) are cold

The name is derived from medieval Latin word aequator, in the phrase circulus aequator diei et noctis, meaning ‘circle equalizing day and night’, from the Latin word aequare ‘make equal’.

The equator is defined as an imaginary line drawn on the Earth and spaced equally between the North and South Pole. An example of the equator is the latitude of 0°. noun. A circle that divides a sphere or other surface into congruent parts.

a line notionally drawn on the earth equidistant from the poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°.

Latitude refers to the distance of a location on Earth’s surface from the equator in relation to the North and South poles (e.g., Florida has a lower latitude than Maine); altitude is defined as how high a location is above sea level (think: a city in the mountains has a high altitude).
