Find Quito Ecuador and Nome Alaska on a map then find the average summer temperature of each city. ?
Did the answer surprise you? what might explain it?
I'm not going to look them up, the question itself gives the answer because you'd expect a place so far north as Nome to be much colder than a place 14 miles from the Equator.
But (here's the answer): Nome has very long days in the summer, about 22 hours in late June. Quito has essentially 12 hours of daylight year round.
And, the bigger part: Quito is at 9,252 feet (2850m) elevation. Temperatures drop about 3.5F for every 1000 feet of elevation so there's a rise of 32F right there. The temperatures down at sea level on the Equator would be 32F warmer than in Quito.
