The Equator passes through South America, actually. I think that there is a perception of the world’s land area being divided in two by the Equator, but most of the world’s land area is in the Northern Hemisphere (about 2⁄3, more if you don’t count Antarctica).
“The Equator passes through South America”—I know that. Ecuador’s named Ecuador for a reason. My point was that people get both of these (Africa/Europe & North/South America) wrong.
If you’d read the last link in my post above you’d not have posted the comment you just did.

Edit: My apologies (see next comment).
