No, the equator is not closer to the sun than any other point on Earth. The distance between the Earth and the sun remains constant, so all points on Earth are at the same distance from the sun.
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.
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.
Distance (angular) from the poles (or the equator).
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.
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.
No, the equator circles the earth at its widest point
Nigeria is closer to the equator.Both countries are entirely north of the equator. The northernmost point in Nigeria is 15.786 degrees North latitude; about 1,090 miles closer to the equator than the southernmost point in Israel is.
The northern half of Argentina is closer to the equator than the southernmost point in Spain.
There is no more reason to make you move on the equator as there is at any other point on Earth. Your question is strange and meaningless.

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.
Paraguay is closer to the equator, its closest point about 19° south of the equator (about 1300 miles or 2100 km). Spain closest points are at 36° N, a distance of about 2500 miles (4000 km) from the equator.
All of Florida, as with other southern states, is closer to Argentina than to Spain. Most of the northern and northwestern US is closer to Spain.Every point in Florida is closer to northern Argentina than it is to southern Spain.Note: Every point in Florida is closer to northern Spain than it is to southern Spain.
The angle from the equator north or south to any point on Earthis the 'latitude' of that point.
It is the place where the Sun is always closer than anywere else
