Parallels refer to lines of latitude (for obvious reasons). The equator is the line of latitude (parallel) that divides the Earth into two (roughly) equal parts.

You could consider the Zero Meridian or the equator as dividers of the Earth.

the respond your instructor needs to take heed to is Equator. and which would be genuine if the Earth became right into a sphere, which it quite is not. the Earth has a distorted shape pronounced as an "oblate spheroid" and in case you have been to a great deal exaggerate the distortion, it would be "pear" formed. like a pear, the southern hemisphere is "fatter" so splitting the earth on the equator does no longer supply you 2 equivalent areas.
