certainly a lot of stupid answers here.....
If you are talking about in general, moving toward the equator will result in you getting warmer than you would be at the poles. However, as with any question regarding temperatures on earth, you must take into account the altitude and the surroundings.
If you are at a high altitude (for example in Ecuador near Quito), you might be considerable cooler than you would be on the east coast of South America at the Equator.
(As an aside: the area along the equator is not generally warmer than the rest of the earth because it is "wider" or "farther from the sun". It is because it gets the sun more directly nearly all the time throughout the year. Farther from the equator the sun rays hit at flatter angles for part of the year (i.e., the winter) and more directly (closer to perpendicular) only in the summer months.)
Blue, NickF, xprincessx, pmktabbycat and some of the others should be required to wear "I'm stupid!" signs to warn others about them.

when you get close to the equator you become hotter and not colder because the sun is near the equator

That depends. At sea level it may be quite warm during daylight, but in the equator days and nights are the same lenght and after sunset it refreshes a lot. Hot and cold feeling also depends on the humidity. In certain spots near rivers and no ventilation it can be really hot and uncomfortable, but if you are in an open air spot it will refresh by night. Actually you can suffer quite a lot more from high temperatures at higher latitudes, because daylight lasts longer and even by night it doesn't refresh.
In equatorial deserts you actually need to cover by night because of the very low temperatures. That is because the air is very dry and because of clear skies days temperatures are quickly irradiated into space.

when we close to the eqator,we will get hotter weather.Most countries in southeast asia that near to the equator are very hot not like europe countries for examples SINGAPORE.The sun heat energy directly pass through on the equator line so the countries near equator are very very hot.

It will depend on your altitude but in general hotter because you are closer to the sun but in the mountains you can be cooler and still need to be very careful of sunburn as you can burn badly even on cloudy days due to being closer to the sun and possibly cooler due to high altitude

hotter. it's cuz the Earth's tilted on an axis. and that causes the center part of the Earth (the equator) to be closer to the Sun then the poles.

unquestionably temperatures close to or on the equator remains fairly consistent with the aid of undeniable fact that it does not have "seasons" like the northern and southern latitudes have so i might say in case you reside in the two the northern or southern component to the international it would get warmer, with the aid of fact the equator gets approximately the comparable quantity of sunlight 12 months around.

hotter. Because the north pole is far from the equator so there is more ice up there.
