Why does the area around the equator stay about the same temperature year round?

Verdich [7]

Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.
