That depends on what you consider "near".
The Kingdom of Jordan extends in latitude between 29.19 and 37.37 degrees north.
The latitude at the center of Amman is about 31.95 degrees north, roughly the same
as Savannah Georgia, Midland Texas, Tucson Arizona, Ciudad Juarez Mexico, Nanjing
China, and Kagoshima Japan.
That latitude is about 2,210 miles (3,550 km) north of the equator.
What do temperature differences between the equator and the two poles produce?
Temperature differences between the equator and the poles drive atmospheric circulation and ocean currents, leading to the creation of weather patterns and climate zones. These differences play a key role in shaping global climate and help redistribute heat around the Earth.
What replaces heated air at the equator?
Cool Air!
As the heated air rises the heated air starts getting cool. This is because the higher the air is the colder it gets. Then the heated air will be replaced with cold air. As the cold air then comes down near the ground the cool air will become heated because of the sun.
Heated Air - Cool Air - Cold Air

Is the city of Pointe-Noire north or south of the equator?
The city of Pointe-Noire is located south of the equator in the Republic of the Congo.
What is an imaginary line that separates two countries?
-transform boundary
-convergent boundary
-subduction zoone
-divergent boundary
-mid-ocean ridge
-rift valley
...these are some possible answers to your question.
What is at 32 degrees north and 13 degrees east?
Baghdad, Iraq is at 33 degrees north and 44 degrees east.
What type of vegetation is most common around the equator?
Tropical rainforests are the most common type of vegetation around the equator due to the consistent warm temperatures, high humidity, and abundant rainfall. These forests are biodiverse and home to a wide variety of plant and animal species.
What are the imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator?
The imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator are called lines of latitude. The lines of latitude run east-west and are measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. They help in determining the location of a place on Earth's surface.
What is the farthest point of the sun from the equator is known as?
The farthest point of the sun from the equator is known as the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere.
Is the equator 0 latitude true or false?
True, the equator is a line of 0 degrees latitude. It is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Do temprecher get cooler or warmer as you get close to the equator?
Temperatures generally get warmer as you get closer to the equator due to the more direct angle of sunlight in that region. This results in higher levels of solar radiation and heat.
Which continents lie north or south of the equator?
North America and Europe are completely north of the equator.
Australia and Antarctica are completely south of the equator.
The other continents are both north and south of the equator, since it crosses them. South America is mainly south of the equator, while Africa is mainly north. The only parts of Asia that cross the equator are the islands of Indonesia.
What country is located at the equator and 20'N?
There's no such point with that description.
-- Two different latitudes are specified. The equator is zero, and "20N" is not on the equator.
-- The longitude isn't given at all.
Is North Carolina near equator?
No, North Carolina is not near the equator. It is located in the southeastern United States, far north of the equator.
How many degrees south of the equator is brasilia?
Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is located at approximately 15 degrees south of the equator.
Does hair grow longer at the equator?
No, hair growth is not influenced by one's location on Earth. Hair growth is primarily determined by genetics, age, health, and hormonal factors, rather than geographic location.
How many miles north of the equator will you be at 30 degrees n latitude?
At 30 degrees N latitude, you are 30 degrees north of the equator. Each degree of latitude is equivalent to about 69 miles, so at 30 degrees N latitude, you would be approximately 2,070 miles north of the equator.
Where is it more profitable to purchase one kg of sugar at poles or equator and how?
I would say that buying sugar at the equator is more profitable as gravitational pull is less at the equator (you can say almost zero) as compared to the poles (where the gravitational pull is the highest) , so sugar will weigh more at the poles than at the equator. Therefore, we can say that the price of sugar will be more at the poles than at the equator. The sugar will WEIGH less at the equator , so the price will also be less there. Hence, buying sugar at the equator is more profitable.
NOTE: SUGAR WILL HAVE SAME MASS AT THE EQUATOR AS WELL AS AT THE POLES.
====================================
Beautiful. But, since the sell-price of anything reflects both the cost of producing it AND the cost of transporting it to market, have you considered the cost of shipping sugar to the equator from where it grows, compared to the cost of shipping sugar to the poles from where it grows ? When I worked briefly in an industrial complex in northern Alaska ten years ago, the price of a gallon of gasoline there was already over $6 .
By the way ... before I go ... the force of gravity at the poles is not "almost zero", and the apparent weight of an object at the pole compared to its weight at the equator is greater on only the order of 1 percent, on account of both the greater radius and the effect of Earth's rotation at the equator.
Why does latitude run north to south but get measured east to west?
For the same reason you count the number of people who are standing in a line: it doesn't make a bit of difference how tall the people are if you want to describe how far a person is standing from one end. By the way, Latitudes run east and west. Longitudes run north and south.
Which water bodies does the Equator pass through?
The Equator passes through three of the world's five oceans: the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. It does not pass through either the Arctic Ocean or the Antarctic Ocean.
What is the difference between equator and Equator?
An equator is the intersection of a sphere's surface with the plane perpendicular to the sphere's axis of rotation and containing the sphere's center of mass; whereas, the capitalized term Equator refers to the Earth's equator.
Which countries lie on line of latitude 10 degrees south of equator?
-- Angola
-- Democratic Republic of the Congo
-- Zambia
-- Malawi
-- Tanzania
-- Indonesia
-- Papua New Guinea
-- Solomon Islands
-- French Polynesia
-- Peru
-- Brazil
-- Bolivia
