Because the Earth is tilted on it axis and the equator is the bit closer to the suns rays then anywhere else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because it doesn't have any prevailing winds
The equator faces always the sun wheather the earth is tilted to the north or south. This causes the earth to stay the same temperature all time.
Because at the equator, the angle of the incoming rays from the sun doesn't change as much over the year as it does closer to the poles.
The equator remains the same distance from the sun
the area around the equator where trade winds meet is called the doldrums.
DOLDRUMS!
If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.

Explanation: There are certain factors that affects a certain area's temperature and of which is the location of that place. And the other is its closeness to the equator. Basically, in a certain country, if your area is located in a high altitude place, you experience low temperature (cold weather) and if your area is located in the lower grounds, expect high temperature (warmer weather). Another factor would also be your country's closeness from the equator. The closer it is, the lower your temperature will be. That is why we have what we call tropical countries like The Philippines. Other countries with tropical weather: Brazil Peru Vietnam Laos Cambodia Bahamas

As sunlight per unit area gets more intense towards the equator, the temperature goes up.
the area around the equator where trade winds meet is called the doldrums.

Climate is effected most by longitude. Longitude (up and down axis of earth) determines how far or close an area is the equator, measuring at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The closer an area is to the equator the lower the temperature. The farther an area is from the equator, the higher the temperature.
The hemisphere north of the equator is called the Northern Hemisphere.
It is warmer near the equator because the sun is pointing directley at the "area" and the Equator is closer towards the center of the Earth. If the Equator were on the North Pole it would not be the same temperature.
The area around the equator is tropical in nature with much rainfall, Deserts do not occur there.
DOLDRUMS!
The warm zone located around the Equator is called the Tropic Zone or the Tropics. This area is very humid and warm most of the year. This is the area where rainforests abound.
The Intertropical Coverance Zone. Or to abbreviate, ITCZ.
around the equator it is the area in which sunlight touches the most (light = energy = warmth)
