An imaginary line drawn on a globe to divide it into two equal parts is known as the ___________.
Answer: A
The line is the Equator.
The Equator is the imaginary circle drawn midway between the North Pole and the South Pole. It is the 0° latitude and the longest parallel, and it divides the globe into two equal halves, the northern and the southern hemispheres.
The Tropic of Cancer (23½° N), the Tropic of Capricorn (23½° S) and the Arctic Circle (66½° N) are all smaller circles away from the middle, so none of them divides the globe into equal parts.
