Because the earth is round, so as you get further away from the centre circumference gets less.

Why are waters at the equator warmer than waters at higher latitudes?

Because the waters are heated throughout the whole year and not just in the summer as at higher latitudes.

35degrees south or 20degrees north closer to the equator?

Both latitudes are measured from the equator, which is the 'zero' line. 20 is closer to it than 35 is.


Can you demonstrate the challenge of balancing an egg on the equator?

Balancing an egg on the equator is challenging due to the Earth's rotation. The equator moves at a faster speed than other latitudes, making it difficult to keep the egg upright. The centrifugal force at the equator can cause the egg to fall over easily.


Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?

Yes, the sun rotates faster at its equator than at higher latitudes. This is known as differential rotation, where different parts of the sun rotate at different speeds. It takes about 25 days for the sun to complete one rotation near its equator, while it takes longer at higher latitudes.


Why do equator regions more consistent climate than regions at middle latitudes?

There is only a tropical climate as opposed to a temperate, moderate, highland, or continental climate in the middle latitudes.


Which is further from the Equator, Greenland or Australia?

Greenland is much further from the Equator than Australia.


Do seasons occur at all the latitudes?

The closer you get to the equator, the less seasonal variation you see, since the equator gets slightly more than twelve hours of sunlight every day of the year.


How is temperature and latitude related?

In this case, we'll have to talk about the equator.Temperature gets warmer the closer you go to equator. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude. We're not talking about degrees in temperature, we are talking about GPS degrees.Most of the time, the smaller the # of the latitude, the warmer it may get. Since the equator always gets sunlight all year round, the closer you get to it, the warmer it'll get.In the Northern Hemisphere, you have to go south to get to the equator.In the Southern Hemisphere, you have to go north the get to the equator.


Why latitudes are not greater than 90 degree north and 90 degree south?

Latitudes are defined as the angular distance between a point on the Earth's surface and the equator. The equator is at 0° latitude, and latitudes are measured up to 90° north and 90° south because beyond these points lies the geographical poles, where latitudes become undefined as lines of longitude converge.


Why do regions of the world near the equator have more consistent climate than regions at middle latitudes?

They get about the same amount of radiant energy year-round


Why is the climate near the equator warmer than other places?

The climate near the equator is warmer than most other places because the sun is closest to the equator.
