No.

The Earth is warm at the equator but the hottest temperatures have not been recorded there but close to the "Tropics" (of Cancer and Capricorn) 23,4° North and South of the equator. The reason is that the direct rays of the Sun "linger" at these latitudes around the solstices (it is a sine function) and have more time to heat up the land there.

The coldest temperatures recorded are in the middle of large polar land masses which the Antarctic with the South Pole surely is one but not the North Pole there it does not get as cold as deep in Siberia (15° - 25° further south..

Why is the Equator the warmest part of earth?

This is because near the equator the Sun is overhead and this means more sunlight falls per square meter that it does to further away form the equator.


Why do tropical areas located near the equator have the warmest climates?

Tropical areas near the equator have the warmest climate because the sun's rays are pointed at the middle of the Earth on its axis, called the equator. The directness of the sun's rays obviously causes heat which is why the places around the Earth's equator are warm. :-)

It is at the opposite end of the world- as far from the equator as you can get.

The warmest parts. The parts along the equator.


What do you think the seasons would be like if the earth did not tilt but the pole was zero degrees?

If the pole of the planet always pointed perpendicularly to the plane of the ecliptic, and the orbit was fairly circular (not an ellipse with any great eccentricity) then there would be no seasons. The equatorial areas would be warmest (now the largest deserts are both north and south of the equator!) and the polar areas coldest but with no variation.


What are the coldest and warmest temperatures ever recorded on earth?
