Just the equator itself, not near or around it.

The equator doesn't really exist as a geographical feature, it's just an imaginary line that goes around the middle of the Earth's axis of rotation. So it doesn't have a temperature.
Even if you're asking about the temperature AT the equator, it goes all the way around the planet so it covers a whole lot of different places that are at different temperatures - sea, jungle, desert, whatever.

Equator is just like a very long road covering thousands of kilometeres running across desert,forest,towns ,villages,mountains etc.Then how can it have a particular temperature?
But, due to the spherical shape of the earth, the equator is nearer to the sun during most period of the year.Hence equatorial region(which includes some latitudes on both hemispheres) receives maximum solar radiation (than other regions of higher latitudes)and the polar region gets the minimum solar radiation in a year.
