Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equator is defined as the line of latitude that is at 0 degrees, which is precisely halfway between the North and South Poles. This position is determined by the axis around which Earth rotates, and not by the ground temperature or the tilt of Earth's equator relative to its orbit around the Sun. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
