Lines of constant latitude don't cross the equator.
Any two lines of constant longitude are farthest apart at the equator,
and meet at the north and south poles.

What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
Why do the poles equator heat differently?
The equator is closer to the Sun.The sunlight falls directly through the atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface, and is warmer.At the poles the sunlight is on a slant and has further to travel so cools down faster.
Why is the air pressure the poles higher than the air pressure at the equator?
The reason the tropopause is lower above the poles than the equator is... The time it takes air to cool. The surface air-temperature at the equator is much higher than at the poles, meaning that the air rises further to reach the equilibrium required at the tropopause. Likewise, the air at the poles is cooler, and does not require as much room to rise.
Which best explains why the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?
The earth is not a perfect sphere. The spin of the earth causes it to buldge out at the equator, which means the equator is further from the center of the earth then the poles are. The further an object is from the center of mass of another object, the less effect the gravity of those objects will have on each other. So at the equator, an object is being effected less by the gravity of the earth then it is at the poles.
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
What is farther apart at the equator than at the poles?
The first and last letters of each noun-phrase.
Is a long magnets poles further apart than a short magnet?
yes

Is the atmosphere thinner at the poles than at the equator?
yes the ozone layer is thinner at the poles then the equator
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
it is greater at poles than equator

Why Will a man weigh more at the North Pole than he weighs at the equator?
Because the earth is not a perfect sphere and bulges slightly at the equator you are further from the centre of the earth and you would weigh very slightly less at the equator than at the poles.
Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?
Yes, there is more centrifugal force near the equator than at the poles of the earth.
Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Than the equator of what? The sun's equator rotates faster than it's poles (about 25 [Earth] days vrs about 40 near the poles).
