赤道

• Plants from equatorial regions have large, thin sparsely hairy leaves .
  在赤道地区其植物叶片大而薄，并被以稀毛。
• There perfumes of the most varied kinds mingled together in tropical profusion .
  那儿散发着赤道地带特有浓馥的香气。
• North of the equator about 61 percent of the surface is covered by water .
  赤道以北，大约百分之六十一的表面为水所盖。
• Terrestrial latitude is measured in degrees north or south from the equator .
  地球纬度是从赤道向南或向北以度数来表示。
• The ridge lies farther from the equator in july than in either april or october .
  此高压脊与赤道的距离在七月份比四月和十月份远。
• The other point of intersection of equator and the ecliptic is called the autumnal equinox .
  赤道和黄道的另一个相交点叫作秋分点。
• Our spinning planet is heated strongly at the equator, feebly at the poles .
  我们这个旋转着的行星在赤道处受热很强烈，而在两极很微弱。
• The working projection plane is taken at the equatorial plane corresponding to the ground surface .
  工作投影面为赤道平面相当于地平面。
• The angle between the plane of the ecliptic and the equatorial plane is the obliquity of the ecliptic .
  黄道面与赤道面的夹角是黄道的倾角。
• As a result the earth bulges slightly at the equator and is slightly flattened at the poles .
  结果，地球在赤道上微微凸出，而在两极微微扁平。
