Lines of constant latitude don't cross the equator.

Any two lines of constant longitude are farthest apart at the equator,

and meet at the north and south poles.

What is true about the regions closer to the equator?

The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.


Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?

On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.


Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?

No, centrifugal force is greater at the poles than at the equator because the Earth's rotation causes a bulging effect at the equator that counteracts the centrifugal force. This is why objects weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the poles.


Why do the poles equator heat differently?

The poles receive less direct sunlight because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, leading to colder temperatures. At the equator, the sun's rays strike more directly, generating warmer temperatures. This temperature difference creates atmospheric circulation patterns that further contribute to the variation in heat between the poles and the equator.


Why is the air pressure the poles higher than the air pressure at the equator?

The reason the tropopause is lower above the poles than the equator is... The time it takes air to cool. The surface air-temperature at the equator is much higher than at the poles, meaning that the air rises further to reach the equilibrium required at the tropopause. Likewise, the air at the poles is cooler, and does not require as much room to rise.


Why Will a man weigh more at the North Pole than he weighs at the equator?

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.


Why are averages temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?

The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles


Is the altitude of the tropopause greater at the equator than at the poles or at the poles than at the equator?

It is greater at the Equator. The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere varying in altitude from approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) at the poles to approximately 18 kilometers (11 miles) at the equator.


Why is the speed of earths rotation different at the equator than it is at the poles?

Distance equals rate multiplied by time. A point on the equator will travel more distance during one revolution than a corresponding point on the Arctic Circle. Since the elapsed time is the same, the point on the equator must be going at a faster rate.


Which best explains why the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?

The earth is not a perfect sphere. The spin of the earth causes it to buldge out at the equator, which means the equator is further from the center of the earth then the poles are. The further an object is from the center of mass of another object, the less effect the gravity of those objects will have on each other. So at the equator, an object is being effected less by the gravity of the earth then it is at the poles.
