The Earth's circumference at the equator is 24,901.55 miles. Since the Earth rotates, it bulges outward at the equator, resulting in a measurement that is larger than if Earth did not rotate. Also, since it bulges at the equator, it contracts at the poles, resulting in a much smaller measurement than the equator: 24,859.82 miles.

WELL, THE ONLY THING I HAVE EVER HEARD USING THAT NAME IS THE PRIESTHOOD HELD BY MEMBERS OF THE MORMON CHURCH. IT IS ALSO IN THE BIBLE TALKING ABOUT THE MELCHISEDEC PRIESTHOOD. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LEVEL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND KNOWLEDGE ATTAINED AND CERTAIN ABILITIES GIVEN TO THE PERSON HOLDING THE PRIESTHOOD, SUCH AS BLESSING PEOPLE. AS FOR IT BEING A COUNTRY, I TRULY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT, AND I STUDY GEOGRAPHY QUITE A BIT. BUT NOT ALOT OF HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY, SO IT IS EASILY POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS THE NAME OF SOME COUNTRY IN TIMES PAST THAT NOW HAS A DIFFERENT NAME OR WAS SWALLOWED UP BY ANOTHER NATION. I SHALL RESEARCH IT FURTHER.

It has to be at the equator.  It is the same reason that geostationary satellites are in orbit over the equator ...they always remain in the same position over the same spot of the Earth.

Do you mean the nickname for the CAPITAL of Ecuador? \n\n\nQuito's nickname is Luz de América\n\nOr were you looking for the monument marked as la mitad del mundo, the middle of the world...

The southern, by far. The majority of the world's land,\nespecially Asia, is located in the nothern hemisphere.\nAlmost everything from Chile to Mozambique is water,\nexcept for Australia.

Mt. Kenya, Africa. It's a little bit closer to the equator than Mt. Kilimandjaro.

Assuming you meant just north of the equator as the belly button lies just above the wasit, and you mean at 0deg longitude as its at the front and in the middle of the body it would be the town of Tema which is found in Ghana.  The nearest big city though is Accra also in Ghana.\n\nBoth very beautiful cities...you should all go there someday....If you do also spend some time on the Gold Coast in Winneba and Saltpond.  You'll then understand why we have all been put on this earth.

At the Equator, Earth's radius is --\n6,378 km\n3,963 miles\n6,378,000 meters

meridians or longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator but only in spherical geometry. In euclidian geometry, no lines would be perpendicular because there are no lines on the same plane as the equator, which is required for euclidean geometry.

it doesn't in all countries, it depends which side of the equator you are on

Maputo, the Indian Ocean\n\nWhat is wrong with you? It would be easier for you to search this stupid question than ask it.  I mean for god's sakes, why would you do this

Dudes, the eqeator or prime meridian do NOT go THROUGH the center of the earth AT ALL!\n\nThe answer is Axis, duh.

Depends on how you define "middle." The center of the earth is the core, which is just short of 4000 miles down from the equator. If you're talking about the definition of "middle" in terms of the surface, then the only natural center is the Equator, which divides the southern and northern hemispheres. Since the Earth's rotation is uniform (at least in terms of unaided human scale observations), any attempt to define longitudinal hemispheres winds up being wholely artificial. The prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) is simply defined as the line that runs between the north and south poles that passes through the center of a particular telescope located at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. There are historical reasons why that line was chosen, but at the end of the day, it's as good as any other one that you might choose. It's just that nowadays, it's what everyone agrees upon. So the middle of the western hemisphere is at 90 degrees west, 0 degrees latitude, which is very near the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific ocean and the middle of the Eastern hemisphere is in the middle of the Indian ocean, southeast of Sri Lanka.\n\nThe middles of the northern and southern hemispheres are the respective poles.

Thed center of the world is the very hot core of the earth. Not a country or a city.

There is also the Central African Republic\nhttp://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/destinations/africa/central-african-republic?a=facts\n\n\nAnother example is Uruguay, whose official name is Republica Oriental del Uruguay, which means The republic to the east of Uruguay river, being this river the boarder between Uruguay and Argentina.
