Answer:
People at the equator do not experience the large changes in sun angle that people at northern and southern latitudes experience,
Since the earth is tilted about 23 deg from its ecliptic, a person
at 40 deg north would experience sun angles from 17deg at the summer solstice to 63 deg at the winter solstice while someone at the equator would only experience changes from -23 deg to + 23 deg.
Also, the coriolis effects of wind velocity are much less noticeable at the equator.
Hurricanes normally do not occur at the equator
