| 2. | In India, the average temperature is higher throughout the year since the sun’s rays are perpendicular up to the Tropic of Cancer that passes through it. | In Brazil, the equator cuts across the northern part of the country which results in 25° C to 28° C of average temperature in the Amazon Valley. |
