Does the equator pass through indonesia?
Yes, the equator passes through Indonesia. It crosses the country in the middle, running through several islands, including Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Halmahera. This geographic feature has a significant influence on Indonesia's climate and weather patterns.
The equator does not go through Portugal. Portugal is north of the equator. No part of Portugal is less than about 2,550 miles from the equator. The point in Portugal that's closest to the equator is in about the same position (latitude) as Hampton VA, Springfield MO, and Fresno CA.
Why are all the countries around the equator warm?
yes because the earth rotates on a tilt so that half of the year the southpole is closer to the sun and the other half the north pole is closer and cause the seaons to reverse depending on the hemisphere your in (this is why Australia is hot in December and cold in July) however areas between the tropics of cancer and Capricorn (the equator is directly between these two) are always tilted directly towards the sun and have very little seasonal climate change and are always warm.
Do lines of latitude circle Earth paral lel to the Equator?
YES!
The way you remember which is which ... Longitude has 'Long' in it. Lines of longitude are always the same length because they circle the Earth from Pole to Pole, the LONG way around.
Lines of Latitude on the other hand, circle the Earth getting progressively shorter the further North or South of the Equator they are.

Why does it rain so much by the equator?
At the equator the water is very warm because of the tropical sun rise. Due to the unequal heating of the earth, the water expands and flows out and away from the equator toward the poles where it is colder. This movement is what causes the "rough" water.

Why is the temperature at the equator cold?
The equator is cold because it connects to the two coldest places on Earth,there connected to the North poleand South pole.
The equator is not cold. The equator receives the most direct sunlight. The ocean currents and air circulation by winds redistributes the excess warmth towards the colder poles.
What happens when you move away from the equator?
As you move away from the equator towards the poles, the climate tends to become cooler due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This leads to colder temperatures and shorter growing seasons. Additionally, the length of the days and nights can vary more dramatically with the seasons in these regions.
