The equator is not one of them.

∙ 11y agoThe Prime Meridian is the line whose longitude is defined as zero. The equator is the line whose latitude is defined as zero.
That line has often been called the "Equator" in song and story, and on maps as well, too.
All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.
The equator is a latitude line, so it has no specific longitude. The equator is at 0o north or south. There are many points on the equator, so every point on the equator has a different longitude.
The differences are that the Equator in zero line of latitude. While the Prime Meridian is zero line of longitude. Latitude is horizontal and parallel to the Equator, and longitude runs from pole to pole.
The Prime Meridian is the line whose longitude is defined as zero. The equator is the line whose latitude is defined as zero.
the equator
No,it is a line of latitude
is it the equator
That line has often been called the "Equator" in song and story, and on maps as well, too.
The line of longitude that Magellan's fleet crossed into the Pacific Ocean was the equator. The other line of longitude crossed was the Tropic of Capricorn.
The equator is a latitude line, so it has no specific longitude. The equator is at 0o north or south. There are many points on the equator, so every point on the equator has a different longitude.
The equator is the origin for the lines of latitude
The equator is defined as the zero reference line of latitude.
The Equator is a longitude line. Latitude lines pass through the equator.
All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.
All of the meridians of longitude cross the equator.
