Äquatoroberfläche

Äquatoroberfläche refers to the surface of the Earth at the equator. It is the imaginary line that circles the globe at 0 degrees latitude, dividing the planet into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. At the equator, the Sun's rays are most direct throughout the year, resulting in consistently warm temperatures and high humidity. This region experiences a tropical climate characterized by lush rainforests and significant biodiversity. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,075 kilometers. The concept of the Äquatoroberfläche is fundamental in geography and cartography for understanding global climate patterns, time zones, and astronomical observations. The gravitational pull is slightly weaker at the equator compared to the poles due to the Earth's rotation and its slightly oblate spheroid shape, meaning it bulges at the equator.
