Are temperatures further from the equator hotter or colder?
The temperatures are warmer closer to the equator.
Why does it get colder the further north you go?
This is only true for the Northern Hemisphere, in the Southern Hemisphere the further south you go it gets colder. The further from the Equator you are, the lower the sun will be in the sky at noon which means it's light has to pass through more ass thickness of Earth's atmosphere. This is why the temperatures near the North and South poles are generally colder than the areas around the equator.
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 place is further from the equator - Turkey or Cape Town?
Turkey is further.
Is earth always warmest at equator and coldest at its poles?
No. The Earth is warm at the equator but the hottest temperatures have not been recorded there but close to the "Tropics" (of Cancer and Capricorn) 23,4° North and South of the equator. The reason is that the direct rays of the Sun "linger" at these latitudes around the solstices (it is a sine function) and have more time to heat up the land there. The coldest temperatures recorded are in the middle of large polar land masses which the Antarctic with the South Pole surely is one but not the North Pole there it does not get as cold as deep in Siberia (15° - 25° further south..
Are temperatures further from the equator hotter or colder?
The temperatures are warmer closer to the equator.
Why the countries near the equator get warmer temperatures?
because thy're in direct sunlight and are faacing the sun more than the other couhtries which are further away from the equator (an imaginary line!!!) =)
Which state would probably have the warmest temperatures you Missouri or Mississippi Why?
Mississippi.Because it is closer to the equator than Missouri is.
The further from the Equator the warmer?
No. The further you get away the colder.
Why does it get colder the further north you go?

Which is further from the Equator, Greenland or Australia?
Greenland is much further from the Equator than Australia.

What is the further you can get from the equator?
The north and south poles (90 degrees north or south of the equator).
Why does canberra have the weather that it has?
because it is further away from the equator
Why is Canada colder the the unites states?
further from equator
