The Equator, The imaginary horizontal line separating earth into two parts. It situated from an equidistance from the north pole and South pole.
The equator passes through 13 countries: Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Sao Tome & Principe, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Maldives, Indonesia, and Kiribati.
Nanyuki is the place in Kenya where the equator crosses. You can test the Coriolis Effect here. Here is the picture that was taken at the equator line at the time of our visit to the centerline of earth.

Would be very interesting to visit here!
Yes, it is interesting and good place.
I have never travelled to a region located at the equator.
I have tried verifying the Coriolis Effect and found it realy exists.
If that’s the case, then it’s a fact being able to prove something
Very informative article, nicely explained with a nice photo.
Thanks, Robin. Glad to know that you like this.
Great picture – crossing the equator is something I have done a few times. I have also stood near places with signs such as this.
Awesome!
wow, have you ever tried to confirm the Coriolis Effect?
Not really the trips were often very time-constrained.
ok, You can try verifying this next time.
