The Equator is an imaginary line encircling the Earth at 0 degrees latitude. It passes through several large Indonesian islands. Sumatra is crossed by the Equator in its central part. Sulawesi (formerly Celebes) is also crossed by the Equator in its northern arm. Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo, is significantly crossed by the Equator. Java, however, is located entirely to the south of the Equator. Its capital city, Jakarta, is also south of the Equator.
