Locations in higher latitudes (nearer the poles) receive a great variation in solar radiation throughout the year, generally having colder winters and warmer summers. The Arctic and Antarctic, although they receive the same period of sunlight annually as other parts of the planet, receive their sunlight at a greater angle, decreasing its intensity and its net energy. Where the temperature is cold for longer periods, high pressure systems are formed that further affect the land or sea climate. Sea ice is another very effective climate factor at locations at or near the poles.

How does the latitude and altitude affect climate and vegetation in Europe?
Latitude and altitude can dramatically affect climate and vegetation. Climate and altitude both have an effect on temperature. This temperature is a big factor in what will grow and what will not.
