Moving across the equator, or moving north and south in general, does not alter the time or the date. It is by moving east and west that you can alter the time and date. The most abrupt change comes at the International Date Line.

Why dont equatorial countries observe daylight saving time?

Being closer to the equator means a smaller difference in length of days between summer and winter. In places farther from the equator winter means shorter days. Daylight savings pushes the sunrise to a time where people must be up to work. In tropical climates the day doesn't get shorter, so noone needs to save its light!


Does the time change as you go north or south of the Equator along the same longitude line?

No, the time does not change as you move north or south along the same longitude line. Time zones are determined by lines of longitude, so as long as you stay on the same line, the time remains constant.


Which location on the globe experiences the least change in daylight hours throughout the year?

The location closest to the equator experiences the least change in daylight hours throughout the year. This is because the equator receives roughly 12 hours of daylight year-round, with only minimal fluctuations.


What is the time difference between the Equator and the East Coast?

Going straight south from the (US) East coast, you will end up on the equator. The equator is a line that splits Earth in two halves perpendicular of Earth's rotation axis, so the equator spans ALL time zones, depending on which point of the line you are. So, if you're on the Equator in Colombia, it will be a 0 hours time difference, while if you are on the Equator in Kenya, there will be an 8 hours difference and so on. However, if you care for the South American country called "Ecuador" which is on the Equator, and if by East Coast you mean the one in the US, the time difference is 0 hours.
