Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : The Equator
 The correct answer is The Equator. - A Great Circle is any circle that circumnavigates the Earth and passes through the center of the Earth.
 - A great circle always divides the Earth in half, thus the Equator is a great circle (but no other latitudes) and all lines of longitude are great circles. 
 - The Equator:
- It is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth at the same distance from the North Pole and the South Pole.
 - It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
 - On the northern side of this line are the Tropic of Cancer at 23½ ° and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23½ ° on the southern side.
 - The equator passes through the land or waters of 14 countries.
 
  
 
  - The Tropic of Capricorn:
- It is an imaginary line drawn from the west to the east, at 23° 23 '22" parallel to the equator in the southern hemisphere.
 - The area to the north of the Tropic of Capricorn and south of the Tropic of Cancer is called the "tropical region".
 
  - The Tropic of Cancer:
- It is a latitude line drawn from west to east at 23.5 degrees in the Northern Hemisphere, parallel to the equator on the globe.
 - It is the northernmost latitude line of the Earth, on which the sun shines vertically in the afternoon.
 
  - The Arctic Circle:
