Geometry teaches there are an infinite number of semi-circles for a sphere. Hence in the grid system that creates the longitude lines that form semi-circles, it becomes the same as what is taught in geometry = infinite number.

Is earth always warmest at equator and coldest at its poles?
No.
The Earth is warm at the equator but the hottest temperatures have not been recorded there but close to the "Tropics" (of Cancer and Capricorn) 23,4° North and South of the equator. The reason is that the direct rays of the Sun "linger" at these latitudes around the solstices (it is a sine function) and have more time to heat up the land there.
The coldest temperatures recorded are in the middle of large polar land masses which the Antarctic with the South Pole surely is one but not the North Pole there it does not get as cold as deep in Siberia (15° - 25° further south..
