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. :-)
Why there is no difference in weather near the equator?
there isn't any difference in the weather near the equator because that is where the rays of the sun hit
Why do regions that receive slanting rays of the sun have colder climate?
The amount of heat received from the sun at a place on the surface of the Earth depends upon its latitude or its distance from the Equator. There is a gradual fall in temperature as we move away from the Equator towards the poles. See- the following figure, We can notice that the rays of the sun are falling directly or vertically on the Equator. Thus they spread over a small area. Near the Poles, the rays of the sun are slanting and spread over a large area. This makes the area near the Equator hot and the area near the Poles cold. On the basis of heat received, we can divide the Earth into three zones. 23'/2°S by: vontamayosa
Why is it warm in places near the equator like the Philippines?
It is because the Philippines are in Asia so that's why they have a warm climate.
Why do places near the equator receive more heat than those near the poles?
The equator receive heat directly from the sun. As you can see, the earth is in a spherical shape. Equator is the line that cuts the earth into half. The sun's rays come and fall directly on the equator making it's climate hot and wet. The more the sun's rays, the more the rain. The sun's rays reach polar regions a bit slower, making the region cold. A polar region has 6 months of day and 6 months if night.
Why the climate is extremely hot near the line of equator?
because sun's rays fal directly on the places near the equater

Why are the hottest places near the Equator?
This is because the sun's rays directly fall near and in the equator. Thus the places near the equator are hot. The sun's rays falls slantingly towards the poles and so, the poles are not so hot.... - Shreya Santhosh

Why do areas near the equator tend to have high temperatures?
The Sun's rays hit the earth more directly at areas of low latitude than at areas of high altitude, meaning that, at the Equator, the radiation from the Sun is more concentrated. This causes places near the Equator to be hotter than places near the poles.

Why is it hotter near the Equator than near the NOrth Pole?
it is hotter at the equator because sun will be more near to equator as the centre of earth is a bulge . no other parts of earth will be that much hotter as sun doesn't come near those places upto how much it goes near equator.
Why is it warm in places near the equator like the Philippines?
It is because the Philippines are in Asia so that's why they have a warm climate.
Why is it almost always hot in area called tropics?
It has to do with the Earth being round and how the Sun shines on it. The tropics are mostly close to the roundest part of the Earth or EQUATOR. Most places near the equator are hot because the rays of the sun fully shine on them most of the year(except at night of course). This causes these places to be hotter than those that the Sun`s rays do not shine directly at.
Why is there warm water near Earth's poles?
As you get farther from the equator the sun rays get less concentrated

Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?
the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator
