A location's north-south position along a meridian is given by its latitude, which is ( not quite exactly ) the angle between the local vertical and the plane of the Equator.

Situated on the Equator, it is bordered by the Angola exclave of Cabinda to the south ( 201 km ), the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south and east ( 2, 410 km ), the Central African Republic ( 467 km ) and Cameroon ( 523 km ) to the north and Gabon to the west ( 1, 903 km ).

A second effect to be taken into account is the longitude drift, caused by the asymmetry of the Earth – the Equator is slightly elliptical.

The transponders and other onboard systems generally outlive the thruster fuel and, by stopping N-S station keeping, some satellites can continue to be used in inclined orbits ( where the orbital track appears to follow a figure-eight loop centred on the Equator ), or else be elevated to a " graveyard " disposal orbit.

( The Earth's radius of curvature actually varies by 1 % between the Equator and the Poles, so this formula isn't absolutely exact even assuming no refraction.

The positions of these circles of latitude ( other than the Equator ) are dictated by the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation relative to the plane of its orbit.

Guidelines issued by Guinness World Records in March 2007 state that a human powered circumnavigation must travel a minimum of 36, 787. 559 km ( the distance of the Tropic of Cancer ), cross the Equator, and each leg must commence at the exact point where the last finished off.

The Sea of Light album ( 1995 ) produced by the band along with Kalle Trapp was well received and in retrospect is seen as the band's return to form, the key to success being ( according to critic Donald A. Guarisco ) the way it " forsook the ill-judged pop metal stylings of albums like Equator for a return to the gothic-tinged old-school metal style that highlighted classic Uriah Heep albums like Look at Yourself ".

The strong west-to-east air currents are caused by the combination of air being displaced from the Equator towards the South Pole and the Earth's rotation, and there are few landmasses to serve as windbreaks.

Hot air rises at the Equator and is pushed towards the poles by cooler air travelling towards the Equator ( an atmospheric circulation feature known as the Hadley Cell ).

In the extremely hot climates of the Mesozoic, indications of a third desert belt at the Equator has been found ; it was perhaps caused by convection.

Wiarton Willie's predictive powers are attributed ( by his followers ) to his situation on the 45th parallel, exactly halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.

There is a reference to Robinson in the book " The Lost Diamonds of Killiecrankie " by Gary Crew and Peter Gouldthorpe, and in Following the Equator, by Mark Twain.

The site is in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, midway between the state's capital city of St. Paul and the largest city, Minneapolis, near the Como Park and Saint Anthony Park neighborhoods of Saint Paul and midway between the North Pole and the Equator.

The Saint Peter and Saint Paul Rocks are situated in the Atlantic Ocean, north of the Equator and are the only group of Brazilian oceanic islets in the Northern Hemisphere.

In 1986 Sanders set out again from Fremantle, and this time completed three solo non-stop circumnavigations aboard his yacht Parry Endeavour, rounding Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago just north of the Equator each time to ensure that his course covered both hemispheres.

Portuguese cartographer Diego Ribero was the author of the first known planisphere with a graduated Equator ( 1527 ).

The equinoxes are also the only times when the terminator is inclined 90 ° to the Earth's Equator ( while at solstices, that inclination reaches its minimum of 66. 5 °, corresponding to 90 ° minus Earth's axial tilt ).

Image: Ecliptic path. jpg | The Earth in its orbit around the Sun causes the Sun to appear on the celestial sphere moving over the ecliptic ( red ), which is tilted on the Equator ( white ).

* 10. 001 Mm — Length of the meridian arc from the North Pole to the Equator ( the original definition of the metre was based on this length ).

Strictly speaking, Oceanus was the ocean-stream at the Equator in which floated the habitable hemisphere ( οἰκουμένη, oikoumene ).

The Earth is roughly spherical, but it bulges towards the Equator, so it is roughly in the shape of an ellipsoid ( see Earth ellipsoid ).

Strictly speaking, Oceanus was the ocean-stream at the Equator in which floated the habitable hemisphere ( oikoumene οἰκουμένη ).

The proximity of the Equator guarantees an entire year of sun, with average temperatures of 26 ° C ( 79 ° F ).

The delegation focused on two demands: the inclusion of their racial equality proposal in the League's Covenant and Japanese territorial claims with respect to former German colonies, namely Shantung ( including Kiaochow ) and the Pacific islands north of the Equator ( the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, the Mariana Islands, and the Carolines ).

At Intel, the authors of the PCI specification viewed the PCI local bus as being at the very centre of the PC platform architecture ( i. e., at the Equator ).

On the other hand, because Cuautla is somewhat close to the Equator, temperatures year-round tend to reach into the mid 80s to lower 90s ° F ( upper 20s ° C to the lower 30s ° C ) even during the winter, and in spring on many days the daytime temperatures may reach well into the upper 90s ° F ( upper 30s ° C ).

The Commonwealth Government changed the Defence Act to extend the definition of areas to which conscripted servicemen could be sent to include now all areas south of the Equator in South-East Asia under the Defence ( Citizen Military Forces ) Act ( 1943 ).

Sailors who have already crossed the Equator are nicknamed ( Trusty ) Shellbacks, often referred to as Sons of Neptune ; those who have not are nicknamed ( Slimy ) Pollywogs ( in 1832 the nickname griffins was noted ).

Another rare status is the Golden Shellback, a person who has crossed the Equator at the 180th meridian ( International Date Line ).

It was opposed by PNP, MNC-K ( Kasaï ), ABAKO ( Léopoldville ), CONAKAT ( Katanga ), PUNA and UNIMO ( Equator ) and RECO ( Kivu ).

It is located almost precisely on the equator, hence it is widely known as Kota Khatulistiwa ( Equator City ).
