Ocean water near the equator absorbs more heat throughout the year due to its direct exposure to sunlight, receiving more intense and consistent solar radiation compared to regions near the North Pole. The equatorial region experiences minimal seasonal variation in sunlight, while polar areas have prolonged periods of darkness in winter. Additionally, warm equatorial waters have a lower albedo, meaning they absorb more sunlight rather than reflecting it, further contributing to heat absorption.
