Are all the countries around the equator very warm? Why or why not.?

Answer 1

Yes the closer you are to the equator the warmer you climate is.

Answer 2

Yes. They are very warm
The equator is one of the five main circles of latitude based on the relationship of the Earth's rotation and plane of orbit around the sun. Additionally, the equator is the only line of latitude which is also a great circle.

The countries near the equator are warmer because they ar nearer to the Sun. The Sun, in its seasonal movement through the sky, passes directly over the equator twice each year on the March and September Equinoxes. At the equator, the rays of the sun are perpendicular to the surface of the earth on these dates.

Places near the equator experience the quickest rates of sunrise and sunset in the world, taking minutes. Such places also have a constant amount of day/night time (12 hours of each) on every day throughout the year, as opposed to with more northerly or southerly places.

Also, in relation to launching of satellites, the closeness of the launch centre requires the thrust to be comparatively lesser, and as one moves away from the equator, one has to ensure that the payload in the launch vehicle is not much, for to get into the right orbit, more thrust is required.

Answer 3

It is not true that the equator is nearer the sun, and in any case the effect would be negligible compared with the earth's distance from the sun.

The point is that the equatorial region (between the tropics) FACES towards the sun near midday. So the sun's energy is not spread over a large area by the curvature of the earth, or diffused by a thick atmospheric barrier. You need to see a diagram to appreciate this.

The hottest zones are usually away from the equator, around the northern tropic (Cancer) in the northern summer (June to August) and around the southern tropic (Capricorn) December to February, especially in dry regions and away from the cooling oceans at the centre of continents.

Near the equator, where there is no winter and it is hot year-round, people often have chosen to settle at high altitude where it's cooler. Thus the Andes in equatorial South America have more people than the coastal or Amazonian lowlands; Rwanda and Burundi in Africa have far higher population density than neighboring Congo, and until recently most people in Sumatra lived in the highlands. Quito, the capital of Ecuador (which means equator in Spanish) is almost on the equator (20km south of it) but at 2850m it's the second highest capital in the world. The daytime temperature is rarely above 25C (77F) and it falls to 5C (41F) or lower at night.

Answer 4

Hawaii is closer to the equator than Texas or Florida yet people ski on the tallest mountain range then go to the sea and surf on the same day. Check for any tall mountains near the equator and they are likely cold at higher elevations. The air above you now is cold if you fly high enough. Countries at sea level near the equator should be warm because the water and air temperatures are always warm. Inland there may be dry deserts because heat drives away any moisture and there is little to form rain storms.

Answer 5

In many tropical regions people identify 2 seasons, wet and dry, but most places very close to the equator are wet throughout the year, although seasons can vary depending on a variety of factors including elevation and proximity to an ocean.

Answer 6

yes they all are warm because they are closest to the sun
