Can you check my answers. I actually have been researching this for a couple of days! Which African countries does the equator pass through? My answer-Gabon, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Uganda, and Kenya.

To verify your answer, we can examine the location of the equator and its intersection with African countries. Here's how you can check if your answer is correct:

1. Open an online map service or a globe that shows the equator.
2. Locate the equator, which is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
3. Trace the equator across Africa, starting from the west coast and moving east.

By doing this, you will find that your answer is partially correct:

- The Equator passes through Gabon, Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- However, it does not pass through Somalia, Uganda, or Kenya. These countries are located further north and are not intersected by the equator.

Therefore, the correct answer is Gabon, Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
