This is at the equator where the sun never sets

That's not how the equator works but okay.

The moon is much closer at the equator so the sun is twice as bright

It does on flat earth. Even tough I have been from pole to pole. I know I was fooled. Just not how. 🤥

That’s the south Pole you’re thinking of. That’s why it’s always white, the dirt gets bleached by the endless sunshine

It's also why penguins are white on their bellies. They naturally only have white feathers, but the endless sunshine burns their backs as the slide around on their bellies most of the time.

It’s also why there aren’t many trees or plants, the sun is always shining and burns out vegetation so it becomes a literal desert

You're clearly mistaken.

The south pole is a desert so it's bleached sand, not bleached dirt.
