The term "solar equator" typically refers to the imaginary line that represents the midpoint of the solar disk as seen from a particular viewpoint, such as from Earth or in the context of solar physics. In a more specific sense, within solar physics, it can also refer to the plane that bisects the Sun into the northern and southern hemispheres, analogous to the Earth's equator.
