The equator is the area that separates the Northern Hemisphere from the southern one. This imaginary line divides the earth at its warmest spot. The reason why the area near the equator is very warm is because the sun’s rays are at a 90-degree angle here so they hit the earth’s surface more directly.
Most areas near the equator average around 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit all year round. Temperatures may drop slightly whenever there is a rainstorm due to cloud cover; however once the storm is over they rise quickly again. As such, there is little distinction between the seasons in areas that are close to the equator.
