Answer:-
No, the equator does not pass through India. The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, passing through countries like Ecuador, Kenya, and Indonesia. India is entirely in the Northern Hemisphere, located between latitudes 8°4'N and 37°6'N. However, the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) does pass through India, crossing states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, and West Bengal. While India is close to the equator compared to many other countries, it does not lie on it. The nearest country to India where the equator passes is the Maldives, south of its coastline.
