An equator is the intersection of a sphere's surface with the plane perpendicular to the sphere's axis of rotation and containing the sphere's center of mass; whereas, the capitalized term Equator refers to the Earth's equator.
90 degrees of latitude
the Equator
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
The differences are that the Equator in zero line of latitude. While the Prime Meridian is zero line of longitude. Latitude is horizontal and parallel to the Equator, and longitude runs from pole to pole.
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.

Kanyakumari is just 8 degrees away from the equator. As equator receives the direct Sun rays, there won't be hardly any difference between the day & night. Where as, Kashmir is 37 degrees away from the equator. So there can be about 5 hrs difference between day & night.

The latitudinal extent influences the duration of the day and night, as one moves from South to North. As Kanyakumari lies close to the equator, the sun rays are felt more whereas Kashmir lies above the tropic of cancer, therefore sun rays are felt slanting towards the north of equator so the difference is felt more in kanyakumari than kashmir.

tropical rain forests are on the equator with high temperatures but in England we are n't on the equator and we don't really experience scorching temptures
