Best Answer

The noun 'equator' is a common noun as a general word for any circle dividing a sphere or other surface into two equal symmetrical parts.

The noun 'equator' when used as 'the Equator', the specific imaginary line encircling the Earth equidistant from the poles can be capitalized as a proper noun but it is not mandatory. In most sentences using the term 'the equator' it is treated as a common noun, for example: We will cross the equator on our cruise.
