The biggest differences are the differing amount of sunlight. In low latitude (tropical) zones, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the amount of sunlight each day in the summer and in the winter, and the noonday sun comes pretty much straight down. There isn't a lot of difference between the seasons.
In mid-latitude (temperate) zones, there's some fluctuation with longer days in the summer and shorter days in the winter. The noonday sun is lower in the sky during the fall, winter and summer seasons, and seasons can be pretty different.
In high-latitude (arctic) areas, there may be no sunlight at all, and when the Sun is up, it's pretty low on the horizon and doesn't provide as much light and heat as in the other zones.

Are places with low latitude the same as places near the equator?
Yes. Exactly.
What countries or states have the same latitude and longitude of Sarasota Florida?
Once you have a latitude and a longitude, you've got the location pinned downto a single point on the earth's surface. Other places can have the same latitude,and still other places can have the same longitude, but no other point anywhereon the planet can have the same latitude and the same longitude as the first one.
Is there any two cities in India located at the same latitude but different climate?
Yes. Climate is influenced by latitude, but is even more strongly influenced by altitude. Cities at sea level are likely to have warmer and wetter climates than cities in the mountains; coastal cities will be very different from inland cities.
What is true of the seasonal weather patterns of places that are at the same latitude?
They have the same wind patterns

Do cities on the same latitude have the same ocean and wind climates?
Not necessarily. It also makes a difference whether they're on a coast or inland. Havana, Cuba, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Bhopal, India all have roughly the same latitude, but their climates are quite different.
How can two places at the same latitude have different climates?
Latitude is only one factor which determines the climate or even simply the rainfall pattern, temperature pattern etc. The climate is also determined by wind pattern, relief(how high the place is) etc.
Why might two places at the same distance from the equator have different climates?
because of altitude
What causes the average temps of land water at the same latitude?
The reason places at the same latitude tend to be around the same temperature is because the duration and angle of the sun are the same. Places at the same latitude receive about the same amount amount of radiation.
What is the importance of meridian latitude and longitude?
A meridian joins together all the places with the same longitude but different latitudes.
Do two places on the same meridian have the same altitude?
latitude
Are places with low latitude the same as places near the equator?

How might earths climates be different if earths were not tilted on its axis?
Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same
