An equator is the intersection of a sphere's surface with the plane perpendicular to the sphere's axis of rotation and containing the sphere's center of mass.
The Equator refers to the Earth's equator and is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole, dividing the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Other planets and spherical astronomical bodies have equators similarly defined.
The latitude of the Equator is 0° (zero degrees). The Equator is one of the five notable circles of latitude on Earth, with the others being the two Polar Circles and the two Tropical Circles: the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The Equator is the only line of latitude which is also a great circle. The imaginary circle obtained when the Earth's equator is projected onto the sky is called the celestial equator.
The Sun, in its seasonal apparent movement across the sky, passes directly over the Equator twice each year, at the March and September equinoxes. At the Equator, the rays of the sun are perpendicular to the surface of the earth on these dates.
Cosmetic fixation
It's overtaking the nation
Cosmetic fixation
It's such a sick situation
Is her hair real blonde
Are her legs real long
Does she look real foxy on the party lawn
You pretend your love is true
But she's just a symbol of success to you
Cosmetic fixation
We pursue it with a dedication
Cosmetic fixation
You know we use it like medication
You got the foreign car
With the phone and bar
And the license plate says who you are
You pretend you're satisfied
Yes, but it's only there to stroke your pride
We're so concerned about keeping up appearances
And all the while we ravage our humanity
We're so annoyed with the Truth's interferences
And real values get sacrificed to vanity
Cosmetic fixation
It's overtaking the nation
Cosmetic fixation
You know we treat it like a great vocation
You got your house on the hill
Your Jacuzzi's filled
And the Dom Perignon is nicely chilled
It's like all those magazine
But in the end it doesn't mean a thing
