What applies to latitudes farther from the equator?
Latitudes farther from the equator have higher numbers. The equator is 'zero' latitude, and the poles are 90 degrees north and south.
Is the equator north or south of the equator?
it is the south
Is South America (1) north of the equator (2) south of equator (3) both north and south of the equator?
The answer is (3). There is a small area of South America that is north of the Equator, the major part is south of the Equator.

3. Both North and South of the equator
What happens when you move north or south of the equator?
As one moves south the constellations appear differently due to the shape of our Earth. They appear higher the further south you are.
What are the two main factors in temperature?
Latitude and altitude. Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator, the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is. Altitude is how high from the earth's surface you are, the higher up you are the colder it is.
What applies to latitudes farther from the equator?
Latitudes farther from the equator have higher numbers. The equator is 'zero' latitude, and the poles are 90 degrees north and south.
Is most of South America north or south of the equater?

Has latitude and longitude to do with temperature?
Latitude does influence temperature. The higher your latitude is, the cooler your climate. The inhabitants of our planet nearer to the equator feel more of the blazing sun than those in North and South Poles.
Air temperature depends mostly on the angle of what?
Air temperature depends mostly on the angle of the sun. This is why it is hotter at the equator than at the north or south poles.
The angle of the suns rays is the cause of the differences in temperature at the?
It is the cause of the differences in temperature at the equator and North and South Poles.
Would a city at lower latitude have a higher average temperature than a city at higher latitude?
Yes. Since latitude is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator (0° latitude), the lower latitude numbers are closer to the tropics, while the higher ones are comparatively closer to the poles. Although it is not always true, locations at "lower" latitude numbers will generally be warmer than locations at "higher" numbers.
Is most of south America south or north to the equator?
South America is south of the equator.
Is South America (A) north of the equator (B) south of the equator (c) both north and south of the equator?
The answer is C. South America is both north and south of the equator.
Is South America (1) north of the equator(2) south of the equator (3) both north and south of the equator?
It is both north and south of the equator.
How does latitude and elevation impact climate?
Higher elevations usually are colder and wetter than lower elevations. Same with increasing latitude north or south, the temperature gets colder.
Is the equator north or south of the equator?
it is the south
