The Equator is also called a Great Circle. A great circle is any circle on a sphere that divides the sphere into two equal halves. The Equator is the only line of latitude that meets this criteria, as it is the largest circle on Earth and divides the planet into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. All lines of longitude are also great circles because they pass through both the North and South Poles.
