Latitude.
Distance (angular) from the poles (or the equator).
What climate? -_-
because the equator is the same distance from the sun year round and there is minimal altitudinal fluctuations on the land masses over that area. also the ocean currents more or less converge at the equator, balancing out any warmer or cooler long-term changes that would be experienced a few hundred miles north or south.
the distance of the troposphere from the Earth is about 17km from the equator and 5-6km from the poles
The measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient.

latitude
Lines of Latitude.
Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is the angular distance east or west of the equator.
parallel
Latitude
yes
It is called latitude.
Angular distance eastward along the equator.
That is measured by lattitude.
Declination measures the number of degrees north or south of the Celestial Equator.
Latitude,the angular distance from the equator toward either pole.
