Uganda is one of the few countries in the world where the Imaginary line that divides the earth into two halves (The Equator) passes. It being one of the most and well-known landmarks in Uganda, many people come here from different parts of the world to feel the lighter-weight experience and many other things and be able to stand on the two Hemispheres that make our world. Lighter weight!! It’s true, you will find out that your 3% lighter at the equator line. Why? This comes about because; weight is a force of which gravity acts on mass. Along this line, anyone’s weight will be less by 0.5% thus gravity is 0.5 % less at the Equator. This is inclined to the earth not being a perfect sphere. At the poles, it is flattened. You will be a few tons of kilometers away from the center of the earth while standing at the equator unlike when standing at the poles. Gravity is therefore only slightly less at the equator because it falls off with distance.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 7.
Our Guide will point out where the 0 degrees latitude crosses, point out the southern hemisphere and also the northern hemisphere. With the help of the magnetic fields and the water used, he will show you that in the Northern pole, the water will sink out through the hole in the clockwise angle. However, in the southern pole, the water will sink down the hole in a counter-clockwise as caused by the magnetic fields. The experience is finished off with the water sinking at the 0 degrees latitude straight down, proving that that is the imaginary line that crosses the whole world. This is as simple as it sounds but the experience is in a way mind blowing as you see with proving how the water is sucked down in all different directions.

MylerAfricaSafari organized us a 6-Day Gorillas Wildlife and Chimpanzee. It has been a memorable experience because they taylored the Safari to our requests and we visited Kibale NP, Queen Elizabeth NP, Biwindi NP and Lake Mburo NP. Our guide Joy took our wishes and requests into great account and made them all possible. We higly recomend this tour company because they went above our expectations
Firstly, Moses is a wonderful and considerate tour guide. He made sure our visit was very pleasant and displayed his great local knowledge during the drive out and back. He gave us recommendations for where to buy small gifts and made sure that lunch was both delicious and timely. I highly recommend doing an equator day trip with him and his company. The equator physics demonstration was interesting and the ability to get an equator visit certificate was great and also very reasonably priced. Note: COVID safe precautions were used, with masks and frequent hand sanitizer.
Great experience with Moses one thing I loved was the villages you go through on the way to the equator. At the equator the experiment was amazing( I won't say what the experiment is don't want to spoil the surprise)and the certificate and photos are forever memorable. Would highly recommend this trip for anyone coming to Uganda it's a must visit!
