What is the explanation for the hottest place on earth?

`its the equater...it is always closest to the sun' Actually the equator isn't always closest to the sun the Earth has what is called an axial tilt (its about 22 degrees approximately from memory) its rarely the closest part of the earth closest to the sun, which in itself rarely has much to do with local high temperatures Local conditions (local on a global scale I mean) such as prevailing winds, geographical conditions etc will have a much greater impact on local high temperatures than the equator's closeness (or lack) of to the sun


How many people could fit in the volume of the sun disregarding the effect of compression?

The volume of a person, on average, is (a calculated estimate): 0.08663614200000001 m3 The volume of the sun: 1,412,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000m3 Dividing this by the first number that gives: 16,349,893,274,084,254,000,000,000,000 people in the Sun! That is equivalent to over 16 octillion people! Or over 2,666,666,666,666,666,500 times as many people there are!!
