All warm air rises and cooler air falls regardless of where on the Earth it is.
If you are asking about where the equator gets its warmth, it is the line receiving the most direct warmth from the sun, not affected by season changes. See Related Links below for more information.

∙ 11y agobecuse the above air is in contact with the earth surface. hence, the radiated heat from the surface is in equilibrium with the air, therefore ,air get heated .

Air is warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator because the equator receives more?
Air pressure
What occurs when warmer air lies above polar air?
A jet stream occurs when warmer air lies above polar air.
What moves the cooler air towards the equator and warmer air towards the pole?
dryclimate
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
Why is air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
Because of the Earths shape and the way the Earth is tilting towards the sun.
Air is warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator because the equator receives more?
Air pressure
What happens when the equator receives more of the sun's energy?
Air near the equator is warmer
Why are the areas just above and below the equator cooler?
because the sun hits the equator more therefore, the equator is warmer
What occurs when warmer air lies above polar air?
A jet stream occurs when warmer air lies above polar air.
What moves the cooler air towards the equator and warmer air towards the pole?
dryclimate
Is the air on the equator more dense or less?
Because the molecules in cold air are more tightly packed together than warm air.
Why is the air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
the air is warmer because the sun's rays hit the equater more directly and because it is warmer it becomes more dense
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
Why is the Earths ocean water warmer at the poles?
I'm not positive on this but I'm pretty sure. The equator is just warmer because the sun is shining brightest on it. The earth is round so the center of the earth or the equator is closer to the sun the tips or the north or south pole. Because the equator is warmer, the oceans are warmer too.
What is the effect of the sun equator receiving more of the suns energy?
1. The equator receives more of the Sun's energy. b. air near the equator is warmer.
Why is air along the equator warmer than in other areas north and south of the equator?
it is warmer because the equator gets direct sunlight. other place like the north and the south don't get as much direct sunlight. the equator also get very little to no wind.
Why is the air above warm surfaces warmer then the air above cooler surfaces?
it releases heat into the air above it more or less easy :)
