Countries located in the trans-equatorial region receive roughly 12 hours of daylight every day of the year, and receive the maximum amount of solar energy, all year long. There are two seasons in the tropics, the wet or rainy season and the dry season. The wet season is when the earths orbit is in solar approach. The dry season is during solar departure
Countries on the equator tend to be poorer than colder countries due to factors such as historical colonization, political instability, resource curse (over-reliance on resources like oil), and environmental challenges (such as diseases and natural disasters). Additionally, equatorial regions often face challenges with agriculture productivity due to high temperatures and rainfall, which can affect economic growth.
We don't know where you live, so how would we know the hemisphere you inhabit. There are people on this site from US, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, South Africa, Germany, Canada, Brazil and many other countries. -Do you really think your country ( whatever it may be ) is the only one on internet.
None of the continents are in between the northern and southern hemisphere all the way rounds, but I think a better question would be, which continents go through the equator or something similar, because in the middle of the earth lies the equator. The three continents that go through the equator are Asia, Africa and South America
A big difference/similarity is seasons. The northern and southern hemisphere have opposite solstices, but their equinoxes are the same. So when the northern half is having summer, the southern half is having winter. But the North's fall is the South's spring, so they both have equal days and nights. A difference is population/pollution. Approximately 90% of the population resides within the northern hemisphere. Along with most of the population is most of the pollution too. Another difference is moon phases. The northern hemisphere has moon phases change from right to left. Waxing moons gain illumination from right to left, and waning moons lose illumintation from right to left. But in the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true. The moon changes from left to right. These are the main similarities and differences i can think of. Hope they help!
the U.S and Mexico border the west indies i think:)
Countries at or near the equator DO have seasons. It's just that these seasons are not represented necessarily by TEMPERATURE CHANGES. We tend to think of seasons based on temperature. Winter, cool - spring, warming - summer, hot - fall, cooling. That is, we tend to define seasons ASTRONOMICALLY around the exchange of solar radiation - the absorption and emission of solar energy by the earth. In this definition, it is true that there aren't seasons. There are, however, METEOROLOGICAL SEASONS in the tropics. These are reflected by other atmospheric happenings, such as wet seasons and dry seasons. Astronomical seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis. Northern and Southern hemisphere's each tilt toward and away from the sun during their respective summers and winters much more then areas around the equator where the angle remains much closer to perpendicular and more constant. As a result, areas ON THE EQUATOR receive 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night every day. Areas at lower latitudes & NEAR THE EQUATOR receive much closer to 12 & 12 then areas north and south of the equator. The source of the earth's warmth is the sun. During daylight hours, the earth ABSORBS solar energy (warms) and during non-daylight hours, the earth EMITS energy (cools). If the daylight and non-daylight periods are always equal, then on balance, there is no NET warming or cooling from day to day, and so, in terms of TEMPERATURE, there is little change and so there are no seasons. .
Ozone is formed over the equator. It is because ozone forms in hot areas.
If the pole of the planet always pointed perpendicularly to the plane of the ecliptic, and the orbit was fairly circular (not an ellipse with any great eccentricity) then there would be no seasons. The equatorial areas would be warmest (now the largest deserts are both north and south of the equator!) and the polar areas coldest but with no variation.
If it is summer at the South Pole, then everywhere in the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter.
Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb. Since most of South America is south of the equator, seasons are reversed from North of the equator. At the equator, it is warm all year.
Southern California! I think everwhere has some form of seasons. Places which experience the least change in seasons are those closest to the equator (the line running round the centre of the earth) as the sun is always closest to these areas.
It matters how far or near you are to the equator because the closer you are to the equator the hotter your climate is. For example, the climate in Florida is much warmer than the climate in Canada. This is because the equator is MUCH closer to Florida than it is to Canada.
i think that Greece is closer to the equator because of the random weather changes
one reason is that it is closer to the equator
well i think the two countries are Perth and he united kingdom hshshhshshahahahaahahhaahahhahhahahahahahaahahahahahahahah its correct
The rain forests located near the Equator in South America, Africa, and Asia get the most rainfall.
what do equator mean
