As this country lies near the equator, the climate is hot and humid.

The plane of the Moon's orbit around the Earth lies close to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun ( the ecliptic ), rather than in the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the Earth ( the equator ) as is usually the case with planetary satellites.

The terra Australis is therefore the southernmost of all other lands, directly beneath the antarctic circle ; extending beyond the tropic of Capricorn to the West, it ends almost at the equator itself, and separated by a narrow strait lies on the East opposite to New Guinea, only known so far by a few shores because after one voyage and another that route has been given up and unless sailors are forced and driven by stress of winds it is seldom visited.

On account of this, the coolest layer in the atmosphere lies at about 17 km over the equator.

At the Earth's equator this circle vanishes to a single point – the celestial pole itself – which lies on the horizon, and there are therefore effectively no circumpolar stars at all.

The Southern Hemisphere is the part of Earth that lies south of the equator.

Aquila lies just a few degrees North of the celestial equator.

The middle of each fiber lies on the equator.

When it lies near the equator, it is called the near-equatorial trough.

The north geographic pole of a body lies 90 degrees north of the equator, while the south geographic pole lies 90 degrees south of the equator.

It lies between latitudes 5 ° 40 ’ and 7 ° to the North of the equator, and between longitudes 9 ° 45 and 11 ° 10 ’ to the East of the Meridian.

The municipality includes the small islet of Rólas which lies directly on the equator.

Innisfail experiences a tropical rainforest climate ( Köppen climate classification Af ) as it lies between the tropic of Capricorn and the equator causing an exclusively tropical climate.

Caroline Atoll lies near the southeastern end of the Line Islands, a string of atolls extending across the equator some south of the Hawaiian Islands in the central Pacific.

File: Suncanik Senj 45 paralela 07. jpg | The Sundial in the town of Senj that lies on the north 45th parallel shows that Senj lies exactly in the middle between the equator and the north pole

Kagera Region lies just South of the equator between 1 ° 00 ' and 2 ° 45 ' south latitudes.

Rhaeticus is a lunar crater that lies astride the equator of the Moon, on the southeast edge of the Sinus Medii.

Because Sirius lies ~ 40 ˚ below the ecliptic, the wobbling of the celestial equator and hence of the horizon at the latitude of Egypt, as well as the proper motion of the star, causes the Sothic year to be slightly smaller.

Lepus (, colloquially ) is a constellation lying just south of the celestial equator, immediately south of Orion.

For approximately two to three weeks on either side of November 30, Antares is not visible in the night sky, because it is near conjunction with the Sun ; this period of invisibility is longer in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere, since the star's declination is significantly south of the celestial equator.

Rather than flowing directly from areas of high pressure to low pressure, as they would on a non-rotating planet, winds and currents tend to flow to the right of this direction north of the equator, and to the left of this direction south of it.

Declination's angular distance is measured north or south of the celestial equator, along the hour circle passing through the point in question.

Points north of the celestial equator have positive declinations, while those south have negative declinations.

Diego Garcia is a tropical, footprint-shaped coral atoll located south of the equator in the central Indian Ocean.

For example, the Sun is north of the celestial equator for about 185 days of each year, and south of it for about 180 days.

The Sun, in its apparent motion along the ecliptic, crosses the celestial equator at these points, one from south to north, the other from north to south.

The crossing from south to north is known as the vernal equinox, also known as the first point of Aries and the ascending node of the ecliptic on the celestial equator.

For example, westerly flows between MJO-induced areas of low pressure may cause cyclonic circulations north and south of the equator.

There are always two standard parallels on the cylindric equal-area projection, each at the same distance north and south of the equator.

Two large circular currents, one in the northern hemisphere flowing clockwise and one south of the equator moving anticlockwise, constitute the dominant flow pattern.

Located only 25 miles south of the equator, Jarvis has no known natural freshwater lens and scant rainfall.

It is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds or decimal degrees, north or south of the equator.

Malden Island is located south of the equator, south of Honolulu, Hawaii, and more than west of the coast of South America.

Most nautical charts are constructed on the Mercator projection whose scale varies by approximately a factor of six from the equator to 80 ° north or south latitude.

The latitude of a place on the Earth's surface is the angular distance north or south of the equator.

It is directly off the shores of the Sechura Region where the cold Humboldt current and warm el Niño current meet, at about 5 ° to 6 ° south of the equator.

These were not restricted to Antarctic regions ; on the contrary, subantarctic regions harboured high diversity, and at least one giant penguin occurred in a region not quite 2, 000 km south of the equator 35 mya

For right ascension, the primary direction is known as the vernal equinox or the first point of Aries, which is the place on the celestial sphere where the Sun crosses the celestial equator from south to north at the March equinox.

The map in von Däniken's book only extends 5 degrees south of the equator, ending in Cape São Roque, which means that it doesn't extend to the Antarctica.

São Tomé was right on the equator and wet enough to grow sugar in wild abundance.

The equator marked as it crosses Ilhéu das Rolas, in São Tomé and Príncipe.

The island lies on the equator, off the southern tip of São Tomé Island.
