In winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the south end of Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun. The main factors that affect an area's temperature are prevailing winds and mountains. Areas near Equator do not have seasons because they receive the same amount of sunlight everyday.

<u>Answer: </u>

There are no seasons near the equator as the angle of inclination of the Earth revolving around the sun is same with respect to the equator.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The season on the planet is caused by the rotation of Earth about its axis around the Sun. The angle of rotation is 23 ½ degrees.
  • When Earth is "tilted towards Southern Hemisphere" in winter, the Southern end of the axis is "tilted away from the Sun". This causes cold temperatures.
  • When the axis is "tilted towards Northern Hemisphere", the North end is tilted towards the Sun causing Summer.
  • In both the cases, equator’s inclination is indifferent. This is the reason for "no seasons near the Equator".
