Where is the Earth's Equator: Creative Printable Worksheets for Kids

The equator is like a big circle that splits the Earth into two halves, the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. It is a way of measuring how far north or south something is on Earth.

Areas near the equator are typically warmer and more humid, while areas closer to the poles are colder and drier. It's home to some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, including rainforests and coral reefs. People who live near the equator have developed unique traditions, languages, and ways of life that differ from those in other parts of the world. What an amazing place!
