Why is the region above and below the equator warmest?

• Because it is closest to the sun.

• Because it receives the most direct sunlight

• Because no clouds form here.

• Because it is far from the sun

A high solar angle (90 degrees) means

• The lower the temperature

• The higher the temperature

• The sun is closer to the Earth

• Earth is tilted away from the Sun
