Answer:
The tropics are warmerthan temperate regions because the sun's rays arrive almost perpendicular to regions near the equator. Near the poles, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays spreads them out over a much greater area, providing less energy per unit of area.

Answer:
The tropics are hotter than the equator because sunlight falls directly on the tropical zones.
Explanation:
We know that the earth spins on its axis. This axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees. Hence, the equator receives more sunlight as sun rays fall directly on it. However, sunrays fall at an angle at the mid-latitudes.
