Do countries on the equator not experience seasons?

721 views

Due to the Earth’s tilt and position around the Sun, things get very light and warm in summer for us in UK, and then winter becomes very cold and dark. But if you are on the equator, surely the amount of light you get won’t change much?

You made me curious and I googled it. According to [this article on national geographic](https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/season)…

“Places near the Equator experience little seasonal variation. They have about the same amount of daylight and darkness throughout the year. These places remain warm year-round. Near the Equator, regions typically have alternating rainy and dry seasons.”

Edit: though it doesn’t say what it’s like in deserts…
