What side of the equator is colder north or west?

depending on how far away from the equator you go in either direction North or south, it will be equally warm and cold, depending on the season, but the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is.


How many degrees Fahrenheit is the equator?

About 24 1/2 degrees to the southernmost part. The islands south of the Florida mainland, the Florida Keys, are the part of Florida closest to the equator. Specifically, the southern coast of Key West is at 24o32"39" North latitude. The southern tip of mainland Florida is at 25o6'59". Florida is so long north to south that the top of the state reaches to almost 31o north. (The equator is the zero-degree latitude line, so the latitude of any place is its angular distance from the equator.)


What generally happens to air temperature as we move from the equator to poles?

temperatures starts to decrease in degrees and the days get shorter


Is it hotter above or below or on the equator?

It is generally hotter on or near the equator compared to regions further north or south. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year, resulting in higher temperatures.


How does a locations latitude determine how warm or cold it is?

The latitude can be thought of as the distance from the equator. 0 degrees latitude is the equator, which is typically warmer than locations closer than the poles. As you move away from the Equator and towards the North or South poles, the weather tends to be colder. In contrast, the region between the poles and the equator often has a greater temperature range variation.

What are the two main factors in temperature?

Latitude and altitude. Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator, the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is. Altitude is how high from the earth's surface you are, the higher up you are the colder it is.


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.


Why is Scotland colder than the rest of Britain?

The North is further from the Equator and nearer to the North Pole. In general in the Northern hemisphere, places further North are colder. Weather in the UK is strongly affect by the Gulf Stream which warms the land. The affect of this is less to the North.
