The equator is the middle of where the wind rise at the equator. The equator is in the middle of 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S if it also in the middle also of the 60 drgees N and south. If you were to let a balloon go in the air the balloon would not go over the equator if that same balloon were to go above the equator it would not take long to come right back down.
Rain snow hail and sleet
rushes down at equator.
Winds rush North East South and West.
