the sun is not as warm there
formal regions
So that they can compare regions of the earth more easily.
Antarctica is considered the coldest and windiest continent. Both polar regions are cold and windy. As well, high mountain peaks are cold and windy.
Climates differ in different parts of the earth because of the angle of light that hits that particular part of the earth, how much heat is distributed to that part of the earth by winds and currents, and the elavation of the land.
Antarctica is the coldest of Earth's continents.
The North and South Poles have the coldest climates on earth because light strikes them obliquely (at an angle) and only for a part of the year. Low sun angles make for less heating, and when there is no sun, it gets cold. That's why the poles of the earth have the coldest climates.

Antarctica is polar. Polar climates on earth are cold.

Antarctica is the coldest place on earth because the sun's rays hardly reach there.
Because the Earth's surface receives different amounts of Sun irradiation due the fact that it is a sphere, and it rotates on a tilted axis causing the seasons and because the Earth is not a uniform body, it has oceans and continents and the continents have a varied topography.

Antarctica is one of two polar regions on earth.
The frigid zone is the coldest because they receive extremely slanting sunrays
