Is the equator a polar region?

No, the equator is not a polar region. The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, while the polar regions are located near the North and South Poles. The equator is known for its warm and tropical climate, while the polar regions are characterized by cold temperatures and ice.


How does temperature vary in Earths temperature zones?

The earth is tilted at an angle of 66.5 degrees. So, not all surfaces of the Earth receive the direct rays of the sun throughout the year. The equatorial region (23.5 degrees North to 23.5 degrees South), receive the direct rays of the sun and remain warm throughout the year as it is concentrated over a smaller area of land. As we move further away from the Equatorial region to the temperate zones (23.5 degrees to 66.5 degrees north and south), the rays coming to the Earth are more slanting and spread over a larger area of land so the heat is concentrated over a large area making it relatively cooler. The Polar Region (66.5 degrees to 90 degrees North and South) receive very little sunshine and remain bitterly cold for nearly 6 months of the year. On this basis the Earth is divided into 3 climatic zones- Equatorial (Torrid), Temperate and Polar Zones.

If the arctic is under the equator like Australia how is it so cold?

The arctic is NOT "under the equator." It is at the north polar region. The Antarctic is at the south polar region; the average temp in the polar regions are much colder than at the equator.
