The equator is the east-west band around the middle of the earth (it's called that because half of the earth is above it and half below - both halves are EQUAL).
Every planet has one.
It's also the point at which the sun rises and sets EXACTLY in the east or west, rather than in the southeast or southwest like it does in the US, or the northeast or northwest like it does in the southern hemisphere.

It's a misspelling. The equator is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth that is equidistant from the two poles.
In other words, it's a circle around the Earth halfway between the north and south poles.

It's spelled wrong. The equator is the imaginary circle around the earth's surface
