The axis of the Earth is not perpendicular to its orbital path. For this reason, the Sun appears to move north and south with the seasons. This creates "summer" when the Sun is closer to directly overhead, and when the days are much longer than the nights. The situation is reversed six months later, bringing cooler temperatures or "winter".
At the Equator, the Sun is never more than about 23.5° either north or south of directly overhead, and the days and nights are about equally long. This creates "summer" conditions year-round, with almost no variation in the solar heat received.
