Is there a single word for the direction towards the equator wherever you happen to be standing?
Suppose, you wanted to convey the following message:
If you are in the Southern hemisphere, orient yourself facing North; if you are in the Northern hemisphere, orient yourself facing South.
The message appears clumsy. Is there a single word that means "towards the equator"?
Best Answer
There is the single word equatorward but it is mainly used in geographical context.
