What is this geographic reference line?

View the Equator at latitude 0° and the hemispheres it separates. This map shows an approximate theoretical latitude or longitude line against a modern reference basemap.

How to use the map

Zoom or pan to see the geographic line across countries and oceans. The highlighted line is not a jurisdiction boundary or travel path.

Data and accuracy

Zero-degree Equator and Prime Meridian references are defined coordinates. Tropical and polar circles shift slowly as Earth’s axial tilt changes. Use authoritative current astronomical values if exact-date precision is required.
