In my younger days, I used to believe that the equator was a big, long, barren hole in the ground that circled the entire world. The water even would dip for the equator!
In order to get to the lower hemisphere of the world, I thought people had to jump down into this ditch and run through the equator. If they stayed there too long, they would overheat!
I got this idea from stufying globes too intensely
