- The equator receives the most amount of direct sunlight throughout the year
- The poles receives the least amount of direct sunlight throughout the year
- Hence, the equator receives more direct sunlight than the poles on earth

- The equator receives more direct sunlight than the poles on earth
- If something receives sunlight, it will absorb the sunlight
- Therefore, the equator will abosrb more direct sunlight than the poles on earth

- The equator will abosrb more direct sunlight than the poles on earth
- If an object / a substance / a location absorbs solar energy then that object / that substance will increase in temperature
- Therefore, the equator will have higher temperature than the poles on earth

So, the equator will have higher temperature than the poles on earth
