About this experience
Uganda's equator is one of the most well-known landmarks in Uganda.” The intersection of the earth’s surface with the plane perpendicular to the earth’s axis of rotation & containing the earth’s center of mass” is what Wikipedia sometimes refers to the equator as, but it is still the imaginary line that divides the world into 2halves. The Equator is an imaginary line that is seen on maps marking the equidistant from the North & South Poles. Along the imaginary line of the equator, a magnetic needle has no dip and stabilizes in a perfectly horizontal position. You are able to stand with one of your feet in the northern hemisphere & the other in the southern hemisphere at this point; it is such an amazing experience to stand on both sides of the world. The sun rises & falls rather so fast at the equator, with equal days & nights’ length. The people around the equator experience only warm temperatures & tropical climates throughout the year.
