What are the due north of Equator?
Εδώ είναι γιατί:
* The Equator is a line, not a point: It circles the Earth horizontally, dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
* "Due north" means going towards the North Pole: So, anything north of the Equator is considered "due north of the Equator".
Σκεφτείτε το έτσι: Imagine a huge circle (the Equator) drawn around the Earth. Everything above that circle is "due north of the Equator".
Παραδείγματα:
* Βόρεια Αμερική: The entire continent of North America is due north of the Equator.
* Ευρώπη: Europe is also due north of the Equator.
* The Arctic Circle: This circle is further north than the Equator, and everything within it is also due north of the Equator.
