Countries at or near the equator DO have seasons. It's just that these seasons are not represented necessarily by TEMPERATURE CHANGES. We tend to think of seasons based on temperature. Winter, cool - spring, warming - summer, hot - fall, cooling. That is, we tend to define seasons ASTRONOMICALLY around the exchange of solar radiation - the absorption and emission of solar energy by the earth. In this definition, it is true that there aren't seasons. There are, however, METEOROLOGICAL SEASONS in the tropics. These are reflected by other atmospheric happenings, such as wet seasons and dry seasons. Astronomical seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis. Northern and Southern Hemisphere's each tilt toward and away from the sun during their respective summers and winters much more then areas around the equator where the angle remains much closer to perpendicular and more constant. As a result, areas ON THE EQUATOR receive 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night every day. Areas at lower latitudes & NEAR THE EQUATOR receive much closer to 12 & 12 then areas north and south of the equator. The source of the earth's warmth is the sun. During daylight hours, the earth ABSORBS solar energy (warms) and during non-daylight hours, the earth EMITS energy (cools). If the daylight and non-daylight periods are always equal, then on balance, there is no NET warming or cooling from day to day, and so, in terms of TEMPERATURE, there is little change and so there are no seasons. .

The place on Earth that has the biggest change in seasons is at the North pole because during summer the sun is shinning 24 hours a day , and in the winter it is dark 24 hours a day. The tropics actually do have seasons, they're called wet and dry.

∙ 12y agoAreas near the equator do not have seasons because the sun is always above the equator so equatorial areas receive maximum isolation thus rain formation occurs resulting such a phenomenon.

What countries experience 4 seasons?
A lot of countries experience 4 seasons. All of them are situated away from the Equator, above the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. Some examples are the Countries on the Northern America, mainly USA and Canada, most or all of the European countries. Some countries in Asia experience 4 seasons too, such as China, Korea (North and South), Japan. Australia and New Zealand experience 4 seasons too, but their cycle is different from the countries located on the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth. When the countries in the Northern Hemisphere experience summer, they will experience winter and vice versa.
Are there 4 seasons everywhere?
Basically, yes - by definition. Except when you are exactly at the equator. However, please note that close to the equator, the effects on the length of day and on the weather are less pronounced than if you go farther from the equator.
What country is the warmest all year round?
Countries that lie near the equator, the imaginary line dividing the northern and southern hemisphere of the globe. For example, Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia etc. People in these countries do not experience the four seasons as compared to residents in temperate regions.
Why doesnt Florida has four different climate seasons?
Florida does have seasons, though they are less apparent than in many places. The differences are less pronounced nearer the equator
How many seasons does Egypt have?

Why are the Philippine has two season?
The Philippines have only two seasons and not four like the other countries because the Philippines is located near the equator. Since the the part where the equator is found is hot and the Philippines is located near the equator, the Philippines is considered as a tropical country which is ideal for us. This is because the spot where the Philippines lies is not very hot and not very cold. Meaning if it is not really cold and not really hot obviously the other seasons cannot happen in the Philippines like winter. this is because it is not cold enough in the Philippines to form snow like the other countries.
