Why isn’t the equator hotter in spring and autumn?

In June the northern hemisphere is tiled towards the sun and in December the Southern Hemisphere is most tilted towards the sun so in spring/autumn wouldn’t the equator be most towards the sun so it would be hotter?

The equator experiences relatively consistent temperatures throughout the year due to its proximity to the sun. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, the sun is directly overhead at the equator, resulting in roughly equal day and night lengths. This can contribute to more consistent temperatures, but the equator generally experiences warm temperatures year-round due to its position relative to the sun.
