The equator is cold because it connects to the two coldest places on Earth,there connected to the North poleand South pole.
The equator is not cold. The equator receives the most direct sunlight. The ocean currents and air circulation by winds redistributes the excess warmth towards the colder poles.

∙ 10y agoThere is no "why" because you have your facts confused. On the average over
some substantial period of time, the climate is coldest approximately at the
Earth's poles, and the climate at the equator is approximately the warmest.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoBecause of the Earth's tilt towards the sun and the spherical shape of the Earth, the equatorial region receives more direct sunlight than areas further away from it do. The further you go from the equator, the more this is the case. Due to the angle of the sun's rays: the equator gets more and stronger sunshine all year round, than countries further away, so they are not as warm.

∙ 12y agothey're closer to the sun. I'm serious.
they are not closer to the sun. some thing like the center of the earth is hot!!!
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThey are warm because of how the Earth is tilted on it's axis. The sun hits there the most; therefore, making it warmer.

What is the temperature in mars is it hot or cold?
depends where you are in mars if you are at the polar caps its very cold while by the equator it can reach 21 degrees Celsius
The temperature along the equator tends to be?
The temperature is usually hotter closer to the equator.
Is salt water cold or hot?
Salt water exists over a wide range of temperatures; there is no required temperature. It is cold at the poles and warmer at the equator. It can freeze when it is cold enough, and you can boil it on the stove.
Is Africa hot cold or warm?
Kenya is really hot due to its position on the equator. The temperature does drop dramatically at night though.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
Where does cold temperature occur?
In places away from the equator
Are locations near the equator warm in summer and cold in winter?
Assuming the weather is the same in a place near the equator and far from the equator, the temperature at the place closer to the equator will generally be warmer.
What is the temperature in mars is it hot or cold?
depends where you are in mars if you are at the polar caps its very cold while by the equator it can reach 21 degrees Celsius
What is the temperature during spring?
Depends where you are. Spring at the poles are still cold. Spring in the desert at the equator is hot.
The temperature along the equator tends to be?
The temperature is usually hotter closer to the equator.
Is salt water cold or hot?
Salt water exists over a wide range of temperatures; there is no required temperature. It is cold at the poles and warmer at the equator. It can freeze when it is cold enough, and you can boil it on the stove.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
Is Africa hot cold or warm?
Kenya is really hot due to its position on the equator. The temperature does drop dramatically at night though.
Describe the temperature of the currents that flow away from the equator and explain why they are this way?
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
How do winds responsible in increasing temperature of a place?
it is because when cold wind from the poles blow it's temperature gradually decreases whereas, when the hot wind or westerlies from the equator blows temperature of the place gradually rises.
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere
When the latitude increases how is the temperature?
when the latitude increases the temperature decreases so, it is very cold.
