Detailed explanation-1: -The Equator, or line of 0 degrees latitude, divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once combined, the 33 stunning, paradisiac islands and atolls make Kiribati the only country in the world to cross all four hemispheres.
Detailed explanation-3: -The parallel that is exactly halfway between the North and South poles is the equator, and it has a value of 0° latitude.
