Is the Earth's equatorial circumference the same as the polar circumference?

No. The polar circumference of the Earth is smaller than the equatorial circumference by about 41 miles or about 67 km. The Earth is a slightly "oblate spheroid" meaning it is slightly flattened (0.336%) at the poles, and bulging at the equator, due to its spin. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles). The polar circumference of the Earth is about 40,008 kilometers (24,860 miles). See related questions and links for additional details.


Why does the equator have a hot climate?

I don't know but could we have an answer soon because I need it for a project!! Thank you! The equator has an equatorial climate because of the angle to the sun. It is only found 5 degrees north or south to the equator. An equatorial climate is where it is hot and wet all year round, this provides the most luxuriant vegetation found in the world. Annual rainfall averages out at about 2000 mm per year. Tropical rainforest are found in the equatorial climate, and 1,000 types of trees are found there too. Hope this is good enough :) good luck with the project
