I’m not saying the equator is the hottest part of the Earth all the time and that is because of the Earth’s tilt. If the earth was not at a tilt, the equator would be the hottest part of the Earth. In the poles, they get less sunlight than in the tropics. I don’t mean that the poles have longer nights and shorter days than the tropics, but the rays of the sun shine much more strongly in the tropics, and the rays create lots of heat. Without the sun, our world would be cold, dark and lifeless. Rays that shine strongly create lots of heat. Imagine your weather is a Sub-tropical climate like the Meditteranean or even a Tropical Climate like the Caribbean, the rays in your part of the Earth will shine more strongly than where I live in Britain so the part that you live in will get more heat than
