The Equator is an imaginary line invented by the humans for their own purposes. It basically is the line that separates the Earth into two equal parts horizontally, or rather into Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The Equator has latitude of 0 degrees, and it is the starting point from which the latitude is measured both north and south. This part of Africa is characterized with warm and wet climate, with the temperatures being constant throughout the whole year and have only few degrees of change, resulting in constant summer. The landscape is covered with dense tropical vegetation, and there's enormous amount of species that live in this area.
