Why is the air near the equator hotter than any other place on Earth?
Santiago ArceThe sun's energy hits the Earth most directly.
The greatest impact on how solar energy heats the Earth is the angle of incidence. In fact twice a year the sun is directly overhead the Equator (equinox's). The greatest angle of incidence that the sun ever hits the equator at is only 23.5 degrees, when the sun is directly overhead either the Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn (solstices).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
