Yes, except at higher elevations (above 4000 feet, the mountain climates can be cooler).

The area near the equator is usually considered the warmest region of the Earth. Temperatures around the equatorial region will usually experience high temperatures year round.

No. There are areas near the equator where people have froze to death. These areas are high in mountains where the temperature drops below freezing due to the high altitudes. Ripleys Believe it or not did a storyline on a group of 40 people who froze to death at the Equator.

Areas bordering the equator tend to be warm, but where the equator passes through high mountains, such as in Ecuador in South America and Kenya in Africa, the area tends to have a more "Temperate" climate. Night time temperatures in the highest mountains can be around freezing. The temperature a few miles up is always low, regardless of latitude. People have actually frozen to death on some of these equatorial mountains.

Outside the mountains however, the equator tends to be warmer than areas away from the equator. The simple reason is that the equator gets more direct sunlight than the rest of the Earth. Sunlight comes straight down at the equator (on average - it IS straight down at the Spring and Fall equinoxes) while further away it is coming in at an angle - the further away from the equator, the sharper the angle and the more atmosphere it has to pass through before reaching the ground. The more atmosphere the sunlight has to pass through the more of it gets reflected back out instead of reaching the ground. As a result, the equator gets more total energy on the ground than areas further away from the equator- and stays warmer.

No. A few high-elevation areas along the equator have a cold, alpine climate.

NO! Most people died from freezing temperatures due to the high mountains.

No. It depends on the elevation. Several places along the equator are mountainous.
