What I don't know (or understand) is if the quator is a line that just splits the Earth into two hemispheres or if it's the line where "sun traveling" so to speak. Because if that's the line that just simply splits the Earth into two hemispheres, the sun can still travel somewhere even more south of the equator, thus facing the north in the southern hemisphere can still mean that the sun is traveling behind your back.

I am editing a book I wrote about another planet and I just can't get this "sun traveling" right. As I drawn maps, cities and the "Northern Ocean" and now paying attention to the details there is stuff that I need to get right.

So when you are facing north you have the sun in front of you, right? (Please, please tell me that it is so)
Yes.. it's in front of me, hehe.
I think so........
Good luck with the book!
