Because that's its definition. When the scale of latitude was invented, zero could have been placed anywhere.

But instead, it was decided to put zero in the middle, and call the south latitudes negative and the north ones positive.


Is earth always warmest at equator and coldest at its poles?

No. The Earth is warm at the equator but the hottest temperatures have not been recorded there but close to the "Tropics" (of Cancer and Capricorn) 23,4° North and South of the equator. The reason is that the direct rays of the Sun "linger" at these latitudes around the solstices (it is a sine function) and have more time to heat up the land there. The coldest temperatures recorded are in the middle of large polar land masses which the Antarctic with the South Pole surely is one but not the North Pole there it does not get as cold as deep in Siberia (15° - 25° further south..
