| definition: |
If you look at a globe with a map of the earth, you will see a line that goes all around the middle. This line is called the equator. The line is located at the same distance from the North Pole as from the South Pole. The North Pole is at the very top of the earth, and the South Pole is at the very bottom.
Temperatures in places near the equator are warm or hot all year round.
