Beyond the Answer
The equator is like a natural belt around the Earth, dividing the globe into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (g). This makes it the central line of latitude that keeps the temperature warm and helps define the tropics (j), where climates are hot and humid, supporting rich biodiversity. The prime meridian serves as the zero-degree line of longitude, splitting the world into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres (a). This imaginary line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and is a key reference for global navigation and timekeeping systems. It also played a significant role in European exploration and mapping.
