The equator is really just a fancy name for the line of zero degrees latitude. Of course, Giovanni Domenico Cassini created the latitude/longitude system in 1681 (give or take a century), so until that time the equator wasn't there and the Earth had a large gap in the center, causing hikers to meet an early demise. __FORCETOC__

- The Equator is an imaginary line dividing the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere and is the widest line of latitude on Earth and is officially 0° latitude. 1.
* The equator runs through South America, Africa and Indonesia together with various small islands. 2.
* The equator also runs through the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. At the equator the sun is overhead at noon on the two Equinoxes in March and September. And at those two times the days are exactly equal length throughout the world.
- The equator is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole that divides the Earth into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere. The equators of other planets and astronomical bodies are defined analogously.
- The equator is an imaginary circle around the Earth that is everywhere equidistant from the poles, defining the boundary between the northern and southern hemispheres.
- An equator was an imaginary line that was equidistant from the poles and perpendicular to a planet or star's axis of rotation. This line divided the astronomical body into two hemispheres, the northern and the southern. 892-IV had a diameter of 7917 at its equator. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses" ) No measurement was given for this diameter. Norcadia Prime featured an equatorial subcontinent. (VOY: "Tsunkatse") In 2375, the star Monac had a magnetic instability near its equator, which allowed the IKS Rotarran to trigger a solar flare. (DS9: "Shadows and Symbols")
