The richness and poverty of countries is affected by culture, economic institutions, government, natural resources, climate, and much more. And since all states have different, then the difference in the level of wealth is obvious.

Correct. From an economic perspective, productivity is the root cause of this disparity. The more productive the country is, the richer they are. And this productivity is impacted by their natural resources available, educational and healthcare system, infrastructure, availability of finance, etc. On a micro perspective however, countries behave like we do --We compete for dominance, some outsmart the others with better deals, while some will rob the other just to get ahead. This is the same reason why our environmental resources are depleting.
We've gotten so used to this gap between the rich and the poor, that it's impossible to even imagine equality or working successfully to solve world issues.

I believe that the development of a particular country is dependent on the citizens and government of that county, in most develop countries like is corruption free and when money is allocated for a particular project, it is used judiciously to carryout such project. But in the developing and undeveloped countries corruption has left them in the state of acrimony and without hope. In this countries when money is allocated for a project the people in charge redirect the money to their personal account.

This global phenomenon can be viewed from a historical perspective. The rich countries in the modern day were once primitive like the third world countries, it was until when their discovery of free labor and raw materials in these third world countries that brought about the technological revolution of the 20th century.
Hence, the thriving and continuous position of the rich countries as hegemony is highly dependent on these poor countries who spend their meager national income on goods and services only which the rich countries have a monopoly over.

other country are rich and still rich until now because of their natural resource such as oil and gas, while poor country is still poor because they are not making alternatives on what they are lacking and maybe because also of the ignorance on new technology.

As far as I see rich countries and poor countries have many examples and their influence, internally and externally tied to each other, the natural rich countries in terms of leading the country, including 80% of the country's employees love the country so as not to do corruption, from outside countries inter-cooperative relations the country is so good that it builds trust and equals "profitable,
the impoverishment of many impoverished nations has many factors, there is no desire to maintain the integrity of the state or citizens so that politicians or leaders often do self-benefit instead of the public interest, and many others

The perfect example is North and South Korea. Demographically, both the nations are quite similar. But huge gaps exist between the two, as far as living conditions are concerned. Another example is that of Yemen and Oman.

A lot of country leaders just steal all the wealth for themselves. It is estimated Putin is worth over 300 billion from stealing money from it's citizens.

Human want are insatiable, the more technoligically advance a country becomes, the more she aspire for more prospects, the reason why some countries are rich and other are poor is greed, the rich countries continually want to feast on the poor, for she to remain poor. Lets take the case of Libya as a case study, Libya was a successful and technological advance country in a desert until America 'a bigger richer country' came into the picture, now Libya is a shadow of its former self, enrage by war. Hunger pestilence and starvation now the order of the day.

America didn't like that Libya was creating it's own gold backed currency, thats the main reason for the invasion.

Sometimes reading these questions make me feel like I'm in primary school teaching 8 year olds.
A country can be poor because of its political situation (like ongoing wars), geographical situation (lack of connection with transport routes, no sea access), geology (no natural resources, barren soil), too cold or too hot climate, that makes the living conditions harsh. The more of these things you can add to the list the worse for the country.

In common language, the terms "rich" and "poor" are often used in a relative sense: A "poor" person has less income, wealth, goods, or services than a "rich" person. When considering nations, economists often use gross domestic product (GDP) per capita as an indicator of average economic well-being within a country. GDP is the total market value, expressed in dollars, of all final goods and services produced in an economy in a given year. In a sense, a country's GDP is like its yearly income. So, dividing a particular country's GDP by its population is an estimate of how much income, on average, the economy produces per person (per capita) per year. In other words, GDP per capita is a measure of a nation's standard of living. For example, in 2016, GDP per capita was $57,467 in the United States, $42,158 in Canada, $27,539 in South Korea, $8,123 in China, $1,513 in Ghana, and $455 in Liberia (Figure 1).2

That adds too! lack of education is also a primary problem why in Africa there are many children that starving to death. A person/family that doesn't have something to eat, tells their social status so it's sad to say that there are many people there doesn't have the capacity to work because they are living to survive and that's the only thing in their minds.

But with the thing about climate, I used to believe that the hotter the weather, the harder to survive.

Well those lazy people who are only depending on others or doesn't have the eagerness to get out of poverty will never be successful.

Are you implying the life of the rich is universally better? If yes for what reasons?

Yes, we know that living with financial freedom(rich) can put you out of the burden. You got something to eat, you can get what you want and you have the way to improve your way of living. (I'm not that rich but that's what I can see).

Opportunities for what exactly?

Livelihoods, working on a high paying job, get a proper education.

The western concept of opportunity doesn't apply to everyone

You're right.

Corrupt politicians and poor judicial system are the reason why a country is poor while rich countries have the opposite. The leader of the country will also determine on how the economy goes. Just like what happened to the Philippines, this is the first time they have a great leader and their country is just on the rise. Same goes for other developing countries. Resources like oil, agricultural, mineral, etc are also the factors that makes a country rich. More resources means more money and power.

It based on how the economic leader and Political leaders guide and help their country to improve and grow the nation on many factors. Technology is the number one factor that i can say that the country is full of wealth like japan and america. By means of these, Work may be lessen and did faster so that the wealth also comes faster also. We can say that the country is poor because of lack of resources , shelters , over population and etc.

With all the technology, healthcare and education why is the world still so divided? With some places being rich while others being torn in wars and crimes, forcing people to hide or become refugees. What are your thoughts on the issue?

Developed countries have gone a much longer way in evolution - society, mentality and human culture. But I think that in found a highly progressive world this is no longer a problem of poor countries.
And the problem is different - it does not benefit rich countries sharing their experience, it is better to treat poor countries as former colonies and feed on their fossil and labor resources.

The world that we lived in is so diverse that we can set a lot of categories in different areas. There is indeed countries that is so rich and so poor. I believe that this happened because of what happened in the past. I see the present as always an aftermath of what people do and what happened in the past. So if we would consider the history of those countries, we might see some differences that makes change on their country. If there is a good foundation on a country, then it is not a question why they will be rich in the future. So it is just normal to see this diversity as this was only a result that what they do with their country.

Once a man, twice a child!

Simple and short:
It depends on the weight of the intellectual capita of whoever leads that country. No one can give what they don't have.
