What is the Sahara, and how do the average temperatures there compare to the ones in the Atacama Desert?
Why is the Sahara so hot?
One reason is that the Sahara is located near the equator, which means it receives direct and intense sunlight throughout the year. The large expanse of sand and rock also absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night, which can contribute to the high temperatures.
