Under the Hood

How the Equator Works on a Map

The Equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at 0° latitude. It separates the planet into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.

01

When looking at an equator on map of the world, the line appears across the middle portion of a world map. Its exact visual position can vary slightly depending on the map projection being used.

02

If you are wondering where the equator is, it runs around the Earth and passes through parts of South America, Africa, and several island regions. The Equator is a geographic reference line rather than a physical boundary that can be seen from space.
