The sun's noon time position is always high in the sky at any latitude close to the equator. This means two things that increase the heat received from the sun:
- The sun's rays strike horizontal surfaces, including, notably, the ground, more directly. This means that the maximum solar energy is received per unit area.
- The sun's rays pass through the minimum of atmosphere on their way to the earth's surface. This means that the solar energy is least attenuated by absorption and reflection back into space.

What are the lines called on a global that show far above or below the Equator you are?
The lines on a globe that indicate how far above or below the Equator you are are called lines of latitude. They measure the distance north or south of the Equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude.
