| 2. | Our spinning planet is heated strongly at the equator, feebly at the poles .
我们这个旋转着的行星在赤道处受热很强烈，而在两极很微弱。 |
| 3. | As a result the earth bulges slightly at the equator and is slightly flattened at the poles .

| 4. | A person who lives at the equator is in accelerated motion due to the earth's rotation .
一个居住在赤道的人由于地球自转的缘故是作着加速运动的。 |
| 5. | The equatorial belt of calms, with its rapid evaporation and strong rising air currents, provides an ideal situation for abundant rain .
在赤道无风带，迅速的蒸发和强烈的上升气流，为大量降雨提供了理想的环境。 |
| 6. | Because of its oblate shape, the moment of inertia of the earth is a maximum about the polar axis and minimum about an axis in the equatorial plane .
由于地球是扁球体，绕极轴惯量矩最大，而绕在赤道面内的轴的惯量矩最小。 |
| 7. | Why is there an evaporation minimum at the equator
为什么在赤道出现蒸发极小值？ |
| 8. | Moving above the equator in synchronization with the earth
