the spin and shape of the Earth
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
Near the Equator. It doesn't rain at the poles, and snowfall is almost non-existent at the South Pole.
The angle at which solar radiation hits the Earth is more direct at the equator, leading to more concentrated heat and warmer temperatures. In contrast, at the poles, sunlight strikes at a shallower angle, spreading the solar energy over a larger area and resulting in colder temperatures.
the Equator
The oceans are colder at the poles compared to the equator. Near the poles, polar regions experience colder temperatures and often have sea ice present, while the equator receives direct sunlight and is warmer, leading to higher ocean temperatures.
Due to the centrifugal force caused by Earth's rotation opposing gravity for objects on the equator, objects there weigh about 0.5% less than they do on the poles. So an object that weighs 200 N at the poles weighs about 199 N on the equator.
greater
much less
Because the earth is not a perfect sphere and bulges slightly at the equator you are further from the centre of the earth and you would weigh very slightly less at the equator than at the poles.
The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.

The equator is on the 0 degree latitude that is between the north and south poles. So obviously it is between the poles.
