The direction toward the south pole from the equator is

When we move from equator towards South Pole, then the direction is south.

Explanation:

The equator is a parallel line and an imaginary line which passes through center of the globe. The equator is a latitude with 0 degree. The region which is in the upper side of the equator is celled northern hemisphere whereas the region which is in the lower side of the equator is called southern hemisphere.

In Brazil, the Macro Zero monument marks the equator. The locations which are situated in equatorial plane experiences shortest time during sunset and sunrise because in these region the sun is perpendicular to the horizon.

The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator. The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees N, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees S.
