What is the Equators average temperature?

around 31 °C
Average annual temperatures in equatorial lowlands are around 31 °C (88 °F) during the afternoon and 23 °C (73 °F) around sunrise. Rainfall is very high away from cold ocean current upwelling zones, from 2,500 to 3,500 mm (100 to 140 in) per year.

Are Equators hot?

Why is it hot at the Equator and cold at the poles? Sunlight hits the Earth most directly at the Equator. The curve of the Earth means that sunlight is spread over a wider area the further you move from the Equator. Sunlight hits a smaller surface area at the Equator so heats up quickly compared to the poles.

Why are Equators warmer?

Because the sun’s rays hit the earth’s surface at a higher angle at the equator.

What is a simple definition of equator?

An equator is an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body. It is halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole, at 0 degrees latitude. An equator divides the planet into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere.

What countries pass equator?

The Equator passes through 13 countries: Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Sao Tome & Principe, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Maldives, Indonesia and Kiribati.

Is the equator the hottest place?

This is why the areas lying on the Equator experience lower temperatures, and are not the hottest on the planet (contrary to what you might assume about the equatorial regions). Since the Equator receives the most sunlight throughout the year, it’s fair to presume that equatorial regions should also be the hottest.

Is equator cold or hot?

What regions on Earth do the flat, angled, and vertical thermometers represent? Places near Earth’s equator (like Ecuador and Singapore) are warm, while places near the poles (like Antarctica and Greenland) are cold.

What’s the equator called?

The equator is a line which is not real drawn around a sphere or planet, such as the Earth. It is one of the lines known as a line of latitude, or circle of latitude. The name “equator” is Latin for “even-maker”; at equator the day and night are exactly the same length around the year.
