It is 24,901.55 miles long. On the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on the two equinoxes - near March and September 21. The equator divides the planet into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Because the Northern Hemisphere has more land area than the Southern Hemisphere it should also be noted that the majority of Earth's population and its largest cities are also in its northern half. Some estimates say that the Northern Hemisphere is approximately 39.3% land, while the Southern half is only 19.1% land.
