Do you prefer to be indoors or outdoors during winter? Why?

Hot Winters

The answer depend of the country where you stay. The winter in South of Italy is very different in comparation with Finland. If the weather is very cool, then you will prefer stay at home, and go out only if is strictly necessary. There are countries near the ecuador of Earth, that have not so much differece from summer and winter, and the temperature depend much more of the altitude.
In my city, the winter usually is hot, about 5º Celsius, but not far in the countryside, the temperature can down to -10º easily. Pollution is one of causes to explain this differences.

The answer depends ofn the country where you stay.

Answer is singular, so the word “depends” has an s at the end. You can remember that usually only one of the words has an s in this situation: the bird flieS, the birdS fly. The answer dependS, the answerS depend.

“Depends on” is a common phrase. I think it’s just something you have to memorize. The preposition is “on”, not “of.”

Grammar Usage

The winter in the South of Italy is very different in comparatison with Finland.

Comparation is close to what the word should be, but in this instance it is “comparison.”

Spelling

There are countries near the ecquadtor of Earth, that ~~have~~do not sohave much of a difference from summer and winter, and the temperature depends much more ofn the altitude.

Ecuador is a country in Central America! Equator is the dividing line of the earth’s hemispheres.

I corrected your second sentence to sound a little more fluid.

Once more, depend should be “depends” because temperature is a singular noun. I changed “of” to “on” again, since the phrase is used “depends on”

Spelling Usage Stylistic

In my city, the winter usually is hot, about 5º Celsius, but not far away in the countryside, the temperature can get down to -10º easily.

I added the word “away” after “not far” because it is how an English speaker (at least from the US) and would probably say it for fluidity. However, I what you wrote would be understood!

For the temperature, it is correct to say that the temperature will “get down,” “go down” or “can reach 10 degrees”. “Down” is an adjective, but you have used it here as a verb. Instead, you need to add a verb in first (get, go, can reach, etc) in order for the sentence yo be gramatical.
