If two places are the same distance from the equator then they will always have the same air temperature!!

• True the location on the equator determines temperature of the air

• False, it depends on ocean currents and winds and how much energy is transferred

• Maybe? I don't know? I didn't pay attention in class all unit. Sorry ;-(
