Map A.

This line is called the equator.

It divides the surface
of the earth into two
equal parts. Find the
equator on the map.

The lowlands near
the equator have no

winter. The hot or
warm season lasts all
the year.

The equator extends

east and west. Other

lines may be drawn in
the same directions.
When we face the
north, east is along the

lines to the right, and west to the left.

THE EQUATOR.

How many arrows on map
A point north? How many
point south ?

Which arrows point north
onmap B? Onmap C?

Which arrows point south
on map B?

On map C?

36. The Equator.

We may think of a
lime drawn round the
earth, halfway between
the poles.

Scene near the Equator.

Which side of the earth
is light? When will that
side be dark ?

What part of a ball
can be lighted by one
lamp? How large a
part of the earth can be
lighted by the sun at one
time? The earth turns

from west to east, and

the sun is therefore first
seen in the east.

One side has day, a

east on map B? On C?
Which arrows point west
on map 4? On map B?
On C?

Find the north pole in
map D. Which lines in
this map run east and west?
Which north and south ?

When we face the south
pole does east follow the
arrows to the right or to
the left, round the pole ?

As the earth turns
slowly on its axis, one
side is light and the
other side is dark.
nd the other has night.
