Why do you think the places close to the equator have hot climate?
Places close to the equator receive more direct sunlight year-round, leading to higher temperatures. The angle of the sun's rays is more direct near the equator compared to the poles, resulting in greater heat intensity. Additionally, the equatorial regions have a consistent day length, contributing to the overall warmth in these areas.
Why do mapmakers draw the equator on a map?
Mapmakers draw the equator on a map to show the line of latitude that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It is a reference point for navigation and helps provide context for understanding the locations of countries in relation to the equator.
What is latitude equivalent to?

What point on the earth's surface is farthest from the center of the globe?
The point on the earth's surface farthest from the center of the globe is the summit of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. This is due to the bulging shape of the earth at the equator, which makes Mount Chimborazo's summit higher above the center of the earth compared to other mountains.
What part of the earth is the nearest to the sun?
The point on Earth nearest to the sun is the top of the Equatorial bulge around the equator. This is due to the Earth's obliquity and elliptical orbit.
Does the equator circle the earth at its narrowest point?
No, the equator circles the earth at its widest point

Why is July in the Gulf of Mexico hotter then July in Arizona?
Proximity to the Equator. The Gulf is further south closer to the horizontal mid-point in the earth where it is closest to the sun. The sun is what provides heat for the earth.
