The factor is that the sun is overhead the equator so the sunlight directly falls on the equator. The second is the absorption factor. The equator absorbs the most of sunlight.

Answer 2

The equator is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface dividing the Earth into two- Northern hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
It is hot near the Equator because the sun is directly overhead at the equator..so it receives direct sun light from the sun..
