Actually, there are 2.Austin, Texas and Honolulu, Hawaii.
It is hot because its close to the equator, and surrounded by warm waters. During the summer, however, the water keeps Florida cooler than inland areas, such as in the Southwest. Florida's climate is the warmest of any continental US state, but with a record high of only 112 degrees (44°C).
Florida is a state very close to the equator and has very few places with high altitudes, which makes it unique. These things factor in to Florida's lack of snow.
Winds blow faster in Florida compared to the equator. The Coriolis effect causes winds to rotate faster as they move away from the equator towards the poles. Florida is situated closer to the mid-latitudes where this effect is stronger, leading to faster winds.
The only state where coffee is grown is Hawaii, which is on a latitude that is south of the sharah desert.
The Tropic of Cancer is only about 74 miles south of the end of The Florida Keys, and about 84 miles north of the north coast of Kauai Island in Hawaii. But no point in the US is less than about 1,300 miles from the equator.
People in most of Argentina are closer to the equator than people in southern Spain. Spain is between 37 and 43 degrees north of the equator. Only 20% of Argentina is more than 37 degrees south of the equator.
The Tropic of Cancer is only about 74 miles south of the end of the Florida Keys, and about 84 miles north of the north coast of Kauai Island in Hawaii. But no point in the US is less than about 1,300 miles from the equator.
Africa is closer to the equator than the United States. As a matter of fact the equator runs right through Africa.
no. They are parallel to each other only at the equator. But as soon as you move away from the equator, they are no longer parallel.
Hawaii is the closest state in the united states to the equator. The equator is a longitudinal line that circles the Earth at its widest point. It is spaced at an equal distance from the North Pole and the South Pole. This allows the equator to be the dividing line between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
because the more southern states are closer to the equator, and the closer to the equator you get, the warmer it gets. it gets warmer near the equator because the earth's tilt has the sun's light/heat fall onto one place (the equator). the earth's tilt also gives us seasons.
