Which what is latitude?
Latitude is the curvature of the Earth where it is hotter on the equator and it gets colder nearer the poles.
What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
Why is the planet Uranus hotter at the poles than at its equator?
Uranus is hotter at the poles than at the equator due to its unique axial tilt, which causes one pole to be directly exposed to sunlight for an extended period while the other remains in darkness. This leads to temperature extremes, with the pole facing the Sun experiencing higher temperatures.
Is it hotter above or below or on the equator?
It is generally hotter on or near the equator compared to regions further north or south. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year, resulting in higher temperatures.
Is there more rainfall near the equator or near the poles?
Near the Equator. It doesn't rain at the poles, and snowfall is almost non-existent at the South Pole.
Are the Poles of Uranus are hotter than its equator?
Yess

Is Cancun near the equator or one of the poles?
It is nearer to the equator.
Why is the planet Uranus hotter at the poles than at its equator?
Uranus is hotter at the poles than at the equator due to its unique axial tilt, which causes one pole to be directly exposed to sunlight for an extended period while the other remains in darkness. This leads to temperature extremes, with the pole facing the Sun experiencing higher temperatures.
Why is the equator hot and the north and south poles not?
The equator is an imaginary line that runs around the middle section of the earth. It is hotter there than at the north and south poles because the tilt of the earth on its axis causes the equatorial region to receive more direct sun rays than the poles.
How do the average temperature and the seasonal changes at the equator differ from those at the poles?
At the Equator temperatures are much hotter except at high altitudes where air is cooled by the work done in lifting it over mountains, and at the poles they are much much colder. Also, the annual range of temperature is negligible at the equator and often very high near the poles because day length is constant at the equator and ranges from continuous daylight to astronomical polar night at the poles. The most extreme annual ranges of temperature are not at the poles where maritime influences are strong (Antarctica being very strongly cooled in summer by the Antarctic Drift) but in the hypercontinental regions of inland Siberia and Manchuria where the differential heating of Eurasia and the Pacific Ocean causes a wind reversal to warm summers and chill winters. The temperatures are hotter at the Equator because the sun is more direct than that of the poles.
Is it hotter above or below or on the equator?
It is generally hotter on or near the equator compared to regions further north or south. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year, resulting in higher temperatures.
How many degrees latitude is the equator from the poles?
The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.
Which region has specific seasons?
between the equator and one of the earth's poles
Do currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
Is there more rainfall near the equator or near the poles?
Near the Equator. It doesn't rain at the poles, and snowfall is almost non-existent at the South Pole.
