In geography, the EQUATOR is an imaginary midline dividing the earth’s surface into two equal parts, which are called the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.
The northern hemisphere consists of continents such as North America, the northern part of South America, Europe and the northern two-thirds of Africa, and most of Asia.
The southern hemisphere, on the other hand, consists of most parts of South America, one-third of Africa, Australia, and some Asia islands.
The equator is considered to be at 0 degrees latitude and represents the hottest part of the world. These areas around this great line get very hot because it is the region closest to the Sun.
The differences that we noticed in the climate of the hemispheres is because the earth has a seasonal tilt toward and away from the sun. In the Northern hemisphere, the summer months are from June to September, and this period represents winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The southern hemisphere begins in December and ends in March, and this represents winter in the Northern hemisphere.
