When young geographers are learning about the Equator they'll love this colorful and free worksheet! They'll learn the equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth, which is sometimes a hard concept to grasp without picture representation. They'll look at what the equator might look like if they could see the entire Earth, and they'll then check off which picture is an accurate representation of the equator across a flat world map in the available boxes.

Required skills:
To resolve this worksheet, students should know that the equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth. They should understand that the Earth is a three-dimensional object, and that seeing the equator on a flat map can be challenging.
