It is possible for a place to be close to the equator and still be very cold?
There are snow-capped mountains near the equator.
Why aren't all the places along the equator really warm?
All of the places along the equator are not warm because of the mountain ranges, even on the equator mountains are really COLD
Why are some parts of Africa cold even through they are near the equator?
places like Kenya and Tanzania where they have high mountains
Would the top of a high mountain located on the equator be hot?
No, the top of a high mountain located on the equator would not necessarily be hot. In fact, temperatures at high altitudes can be quite cold due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure and the corresponding decrease in temperature with altitude.
Why does the equator not have a cold season?
No matter which way the poles tilt, the equator always receives enough direct sunlight to prevent a winter. Though, if there are no clouds to trap in the heat of the day, the equator can be very cold at night.
If the equator is hot why are the kilihanians always snow capped?
they are MOUNTAINS. mountains are high in the sky.. where it is cold..

Was Antarctica always so cold?
No, actually. Antarctica used to be located near the equator.
Why is it cold in the arctic?
IT is cold because the sunlight it receives is very indirect. This radiation has to go through a larger part of the atmosphere, so more of it is absorbed. The earth is heated by these rays, so the Arctic is unable to get very warm.
Are all the places alog the equator very warm?
yes because the equator is super hot. Actually no. While most places on the equator are very warm there are some high mountains in Africa and South America which are very cold and covered in snow.
Where in South America can you be 30 miles from the equator but knee-deep in snow?
In South America, you can be 30 miles from the equator but knee-deep in snow in the Andes Mountains, particularly in countries like Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. This phenomenon occurs due to the high altitude of the mountains which can experience cold temperatures and snowfall even close to the equator.
Are the places along the equator very warm why why not?
No because some places have mountains or high plateaus where it gets cold so not all places along the equator are hot. Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya is almost on the equator and has snow on the top. Nearness to the sea can also have an effect.
Why is the equator always have precipatation?
Hot air holds moisture far more efficiently than cooler or cold air ... thus a higher humidity at the equator, where temperatures are higher.
