Because the earth is round, so as you get further away from the centre circumference gets less.

35degrees south or 20degrees north closer to the equator?
Both latitudes are measured from the equator, which is the 'zero' line. 20 is closer to it than 35 is.
Why do equator regions more consistent climate than regions at middle latitudes?
There is only a tropical climate as opposed to a temperate, moderate, highland, or continental climate in the middle latitudes.
Why do regions of the world near the equator have more consistent climate than regions at middle latitudes?
They get about the same amount of radiant energy year-round
What is the northernmost latitude that can experience a normal sunrise and sunset on a daily basis?
The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are the latitudes farthest from the equator where the sun never remains up (or down) for more than 24 hours. Their latitudes are roughly 66.5° north and south, respectively.
What will be cosmic ray flux at poles and equator?
Cosmic rays flux at high latitudes are almost 20% more than at equator, from 60° to 90° of latitude none increment due to rigidity cutoff. The flux also increase with altitude.
Why are waters at the equator warmer than waters at higher latitudes?
Because the waters are heated throughout the whole year and not just in the summer as at higher latitudes.

There is only a tropical climate as opposed to a temperate, moderate, highland, or continental climate in the middle latitudes.
Do seasons occur at all the latitudes?
The closer you get to the equator, the less seasonal variation you see, since the equator gets slightly more than twelve hours of sunlight every day of the year.

They get about the same amount of radiant energy year-round
Why is the climate near the equator warmer than the other places?
The climate near the equator is warmer than most other places because the sun is closest to the equator.
Why is the climate near the equator warmer than other places?
The climate near the equator is warmer than most other places because the sun is closest to the equator.
Why is Canada's climate colder than the US?
With the exception of Alaska, it is closer to the North Pole and further from the equator than any of the other states.^^ also, canda's latitudes mean that it receives less direct sunlight then we would^^^^ basically its further away from the equator.Canada is north of the U.S. where it does not get the sunshine and heat that more southern areas get.

Would each plants distance from the sun always be the same?
No. Because the earth is approximately spherical, plants near the equator will be nearer to the sun than ones at higher latitudes.
