It matters how far or near you are to the equator because the closer you are to the equator the hotter your climate is. For example, the climate in Florida is much warmer than the climate in Canada. This is because the equator is MUCH closer to Florida than it is to Canada.

What statements best explains why areas close to earths equator tend to be warmer than areas farther away from the equator?

Areas close to the Earth's equator tend to be warmer than areas farther away from the equator primarily because sunlight is more direct at the equator. The sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a higher angle near the equator, resulting in more concentrated energy and heat. In contrast, areas farther from the equator receive sunlight at lower angles, causing the energy to be spread out over a larger area and resulting in cooler temperatures.

Why is it cold in Canada if the sun is close to us?

The sun isn't really all that close. Canada and most northern countries and continents are usually really cold is because they are farther away from the Equator. The Equator is the part of the world that gets the most direct sunlight that's why usually countries around near the Equator are usually warm all year round. Now as you move further north or further south it gets colder. It gets colder because the farther away from the Equator you are the more indirect sunlight you get. More sunrays don't even point your way and the heat doesn't travel as much farther away from the Equator.
