Yes, due not to the increased light and temperatures, but to the more year round consistent temperatures associated with being close to the equator.

What statements best explains why areas close to earths equator tend to be warmer than areas farther away from the equator?

Areas close to the Earth's equator tend to be warmer than areas farther away from the equator primarily because sunlight is more direct at the equator. The sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a higher angle near the equator, resulting in more concentrated energy and heat. In contrast, areas farther from the equator receive sunlight at lower angles, causing the energy to be spread out over a larger area and resulting in cooler temperatures.

What kind of penguins live in Mexico?

The only penguins that live in Mexico would be in a zoo.
