The equator does not experience the highest temperatures on Earth. Here, rising air generates daily thunderstorms that consume considerable amounts of heat energy, suppressing the air temperature by several degrees Celsius. The greater cloud cover also helps to reduce the amount of sunlight.
In fact, the hottest places on Earth lie in the subtropical climate zone of high pressure between latitudes 25 to 40°, where cloud cover is virtually non-existent and sunshine levels are very high throughout the year.
10. c
India’s GNP is always lower than its GDP because its Net income from abroad is always negative.
