Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the Earth’s natural bulge where the equator is located, the equator is closer to the Sun than any other place, this also results in higher temperatures all year round. Countries on the equator experience the shortest sunrises and sunsets as the Sun’s daily path is perpendicular to the horizon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because the sun’s rays hit the earth’s surface at a higher angle at the equator.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sun’s rays are the most concentrated around the equator. Moving north or south of the equator, the sun’s rays are spread over a larger area, so each square meter of Earth’s surface receives less solar energy. This is because of the angle of the sun’s rays as they strike Earth’s curved surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -The equator being located between the two tropics to the south and to the north thus leading the sun to oscillates between the two tropics, making it to remain more or less overhead throughout the year leading to low range of temperature.
