As you get closer to the equator the sunlight passes through less of earth's atmosphere than at high latitudes. The angle of the sun's descent toward the horizon is closer to the perpendicular, and for those two reasons, (a) the sun's light is refracted less at lower latitude, and (b) the sun "plunges" below the horizon at a steeper angle, therefore it gets dark quicker.
Or, as my first grade teacher used to say, the earth is "widest" at the equator, so the earth blocks the sun's light more the nearer you are to the equator.

What is melting quicker - the North Pole or the South Pole?
Ice at the North Pole is melting faster than that at the South Pole. The North Pole sits on a sheet of floating ice, and the Arctic ice-cap has been monitored for continued shrinking over at least the last five decades. According to data obtained from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), following the northern hemisphere summer of 2007, the Arctic ice cap was 40 percent smaller than the 7.23 million square kilometres recorded in 1979-2000. The South Pole experiences some melting of the ice, but it sits amid a huge mass of ice on the land mass known as Antarctica. The famous "hole in the ozone layer" is over the Antarctic, but scientists are still debating how much effect this hole actually has on the ice melting. According to the report at the related link below, Antarctica (and by association, the South Pole) is more likely to heat up as the ozone hole repairs itself.
