Why is the equator so hot?
Because it is near the sun.Second answerThe earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning that it is wider side to side than it is tall top to bottom--i.e., it is not a perfect sphere. This means that the equator sticks out the furthest and is exposed to greater amounts of sun.Third answerAs we all know that equator is the imaginary line which divides earth into two hemisphere, northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. The sun rays fall directly on the equator as a reason it stays hot the whole year.

Does earth's distance from the sun affect the season's?
No it does not. Earth's seasons are affected by Earth's tilt. The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees so seasons are created by the sun's direct rays hitting different parts of the earth. Summer in the northern hemisphere starts when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of cancer. winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of capricorn. fall and spring begin when the sun's direct rays are at the equator. (By the way, summer in the norther hemisphere occurs when the earth is farthest from the sun)
