Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. ... The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator.

The axis is slightly tilted, making an angle of 23.5° with the perpendicular. At present, Earth's axis points toward Polaris, the North Star. ... At the equator, one rotation equals the Earth's circumference, or 40,074 kilometers. Therefore, points on the equator rotate at a speed of about 1690 kilometers per hour.

Equatorial vs Polar Diameter: Because of this, the diameter of the Earth at the equator is about 43 kilometers (27 mi) larger than the pole-to-pole diameter. As a result, the latest measurements indicate that the Earth has an equatorial diameter of 12,756 km (7926 mi), and a polar diameter of 12713.6 km (7899.86 mi).

The Equator is another of the Earth's great circles. If you were to cut into the Earth right on its Equator, you'd have two equal halves: the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Equator is the only east-west line that is a great circle. All other parallels (lines of latitude) get smaller as you get near the poles.
