    More direct sunlight throughout the year leads to warmer temperatures near the equator. One of the most common misconceptions is that the regions at or near the equator are hotter than the poles because the equator is closer to the sun than other areas of the earth.

    The hottest parts of the world do not lieon’ the Equator (as our assumption would suggest), but rather around the tropics, i.e., the areas that lie above and below the Equator. What’s the reason behind this?

    Contrary to popular belief, the equator is not the hottest place on Earth. While it is among the closest regions to the sun, the presence of humidity in equatorial regions cools the air slightly. Many cultures and ecosystems thrive in warm equatorial regions, making them ideal destinations for those seeking tropical experiences.

    There is less atmosphere to pass through at the Equator compared to the poles. This means more heat from the sun makes it to the surface of the Earth.

  9. Places on or near the equator, like the Sahara Desert, are very hot. When we measure the distance between a place and the equator, we call itlatitude.

  10. 14 Surprising Facts About Equator

    facts.net/science/geography/14-surprising-facts-about-equator

    The Equator is the hottest spot on Earth. Due to its direct exposure to the sun’s rays, the Equator experiences high temperatures year-round. The combination of consistent daylight and proximity to the sun makes it the hottest spot on Earth.

  11. Why is the Equator the Warmest Place on Earth?

    spectacularsci.com/2021/06/why-is-the-equator-the-warmest-place-on-earth

    The Equator has the warmest climate since it is the halfway point on Earth. Since Earth is a sphere, or a ball shape, different parts of the Earth get different amounts of sunlight and different heat patterns.
