Temperatures get hotter when you get closer to the Equator because if you ever went to the Rainforest in South America, its hotter there. Even when it's Winter. I'm 11 yrs old and even I know this.

∙ 6y agoMoving toward the equator from either pole, the temperatures are generally warmer. The equatorial regions never have much of a "winter" as do areas at higher latitudes. The Sun is never more than about 23.5° from directly overhead at noon, and days and nights are of roughly equal length all year long. This increased solar radiation keeps the equatorial tropics warm, except at higher (mountainous) elevations.
The temperatures get warmer the closer you get to the equator, and cooler the farther you get from it. The poles are as far away from the equator as you can get. They are always covered with ice and snow even in the summer. On the other hand, it never snows at the equator unless you are high in the mountains. At normal elevations the equator has summer-like conditions all year.

The temperature gets hotter as you get closer to the equator and colder as you leave the equator. This has to do with how the sun's rays hit earth.
How does latitude related to climate?
Climates closer to the equator are warmer, and those closer to the poles (either north or south) are colder.
Which location on the Earth are generally warmest?
the closer you are to the equator, the hotter it is.
Are temperatures further from the equator hotter or colder?
The temperatures are warmer closer to the equator.
Why do mapmakers draw the equator on a map?
To let the observers of the map know where the earth gets hotter and colder, you see the closer you get near the equator the hotter it gets the farther away, the colder.
Is it hotter or colder if your closer to the water?
Colder
Why does temperature of a place depends on latitude?
Latitude affects temperature because the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth varies with latitude. Places closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight, making them warmer, while places closer to the poles receive sunlight at a more oblique angle, leading to cooler temperatures.
Does England have cold weather because it is far away from the equator?
Yes because we are far away from the equator we get worse weather the further you are from the equator the colder it gets and the closer you are the hotter it gets
Why some areas are colder?
depending on the climate different areas can be colder or hotter. closer to the equator will be warmer and likewise farther from the equator will be colder but besides that u have to factor in the height of the land and the usual weather those are all factors of the climate or the "area"
When you get closer to the equator what is the temp?
Hotter
What changes the closer to the equator a place is?
the hotter it is
Is Florida hotter then Illinois why?
