Best Answer

Yes, the amount of light determines climate, and climatic zones. Climatic zones are like tropical, subtropical, or extratropical. You see, in the tropics, hurricanes can form over water, and tropical waves rain on rainforests or other land in the area. In the extratropical areas, hurricanes cannot form, and lows are polar lows. These lows can snow or rain, near the poles.
