Explanation:

At the equator, over the course of a year, all of the celestial sphere can be observed. At the poles, only one - half of the celestial sphere is visible at any given time. Mid - latitude locations like the Andes in Chile and Hawaii also have limited views compared to the equator for a complete all - sky survey.

The equator
