Answer 2

The sun is closest to the equator and therefore the equator gets direct sunlight from the rays of the sun which raises the temperature very high on the equator.  

EXPLANATION:

• Since the earth is inclined on its axis the ‘Northern and Southern Hemispheres’ of Earth are either tilted ‘towards or away’ from the Sun.  

• This results in the changing seasons at the poles.  

• The sun is always directly overhead at the equator and it is at a slanting angle while facing the poles.  

• The equator receives direct sunlight since it lies at a direct angle in comparison to the other parts of the planet.
