Why do latitudes closer to the equator have warmer climates?
Latitudes closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures. This is due to the Earth's curvature and the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface at different latitudes.
Why are temperatures warmer when they are closer to the equator?
Temperatures are warmer closer to the equator due to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth. Near the equator, the sun's rays are more direct, leading to more concentrated heat. This causes the area to receive more energy, resulting in higher temperatures.
Is the equator closer to the sun than any other point on Earth?
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.
Are Days and nights equal at a solstice?
No. That would be an Equinox. The solstice is when the earth is tilted at maximum angle, (23 1/2 degrees) from the plane of the orbit around the sun. Either north or south pole is closer. The exact difference of night and day will vary depending on where you are on earth.
How is temperature and latitude related?
Temperature and latitude are inversely related - generally, as you move closer to the equator (lower latitudes), temperatures tend to be higher, while as you move towards the poles (higher latitudes), temperatures tend to be lower. This relationship is due to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface, with more direct sunlight at lower latitudes leading to higher temperatures.
Why do the people of Scandinavia have more reason to celebrate the summer solstice than people who live closer to the equator?

Explain one reason the people of Scandinavia have more reason to celebrate the summer solstice than people who live closer to the equator?
Because in the north, the sun is rarely seen.
Is Scandinavia closer to the North or South Pole?
Scandinavia is closer to the North Pole.
What place do not have winter and summer solstice?
Places that are close to the equator do not experience much change in the amount of daylight and darkness there is throughout the year. So while the solstices are happening in those parts of the world, they do not experience any major differences. The further you get from the equator and the closer you get to the poles, the more noticeable the effect of a solstice is.
