The imaginary line that separates the northern and southern hemispheres is called the ____
A
axis
B
equator
C
solstice
D
equinox
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Equator, or line of 0 degrees latitude, divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Northern Hemisphere contains North America, the northern part of South America, Europe, the northern two-thirds of Africa, and most of Asia.

Detailed explanation-2: -The equator is the most well known parallel. At 0 degrees latitude, it equally divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. From the equator, latitude increases as you travel north or south, reaching 90 degrees at each pole.

Detailed explanation-3: -It has to do with some imaginary lines on our planet. These lines are important, because they help people navigate and measure time. The equator is an imaginary line drawn right around Earth’s middle, like a belt. It divides Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Equator is the imaginary horizontal line at 0∘ latitude at the center of the earth. It divides the earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Detailed explanation-5: -In complex geometry, an imaginary line is a straight line that only contains one real point. It can be proven that this point is the intersection point with the conjugated line. It is a special case of an imaginary curve.
