What is the location on earth relative to equator?
The location of a place on Earth is described by its latitude and longitude coordinates. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the Equator, which is 0 degrees latitude. The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
Why does the equator receive more radation than areas to the north or south?
The tilt of the axis and the curvature of the earth.

Why are the regions away from the equator cool?
At the equator, the sun's rays strike the earth vertically - making their path through the atmosphere shorter than at the poles - thus more of the sun's energy reaches the earth's surface. Towards the poles, the angel of the sun's rays is flatter - meaning they pass through more of the earth's atmosphere.
Are the Arctic Circle 23 degrees south and the Equator lines of latitude or longitude?
First of all, the Arctic Circle is the one at roughly 23.5 degrees North.

How long will it take the equator to make a rotation?
23.93443 hours per rotation (rounded), or 1.00274 rotation per day (rounded).
Since the Earth's surface is nominally one solid piece, it all rotates together, and
that rate is the same for any place on Earth.
