What part on earth is located at 90 degrees latitude?
The earth's poles.
How do you locate a place on the Earth's surface?
By Longitude, Latitude, minutes, seconds. Or use Google Earth.

Parallels of circle Earth from east to west?
Latitude. Tropic of Cancer
What lines act as a invisible grid over the earth?
They are the lines of latitude and longitude.
How does latitude affect the climate of various region of the earth?
It affects the climate because the climate zone is determined by the line of latitude.

How do latitudes affct the climate?
Latitude (lines of latitude) are imaginary lines circiling the Earth, the do not effect climate.
What are earths main climate zone and how does latitude effect the climate zones?
There are three major climate zones on earth. These are the polar zone, temperate zone, and tropical zone. Latitude plays a huge role because the polar zones are higher latitudes while those zones extremely close to the middle of the earth is tropical.

Why is there a difference in climate between areas at 0 latitude and areas at 45 latitude?
The climate is cooler at 45 degrees latitude compared to 0 degrees latitude because the Sun is shining at a different angle. At 0 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining directly overhead, and thus it receives highly-concentrated sun rays which heat up the Earth rapidly. However, at 45 degrees latitude, the Sun is shining at a slanted angle, which makes the sun rays spread over a larger area and warming the Earth at a slower rate.
What are the major climate regions into which geographers divide the earth?
Tropical, Dry, Mid Latitude, High Latitude, and Highlands.
Is Longitude is an important factor in determining climate of a place?
Longitude doesn't affect an area's climate because the Earth only wobbles on its axis in a vertical fashion. Besides that fact, the Earth is constantly spinning which ensures that all longitudes of the Earth receives as much sunlight and strength of sunlight as the other longitudes that lie at that latitude. While climates do vary from one specific longitude to another this is because of other factors, such as weather patterns, and not because of the longitude itself
How does Miami latitude affect its climate?
"Latitude" is a purely human invention, and has only been around for a few hundred years. No point on earth knows or cares how we define or describe its latitude, and its latitude has no effect on its climate. Long before latitude was invented and Miami's had been measured, the climate there was exactly the same as it is now.
What is the climate zone that covers most of the earth?
the temperate zone.
Why is the latitude the strongest influence on climate?
Because the energy that creates climate is structured in that direction. The rotation of the Earth drags air around so winds are primary west<->east not north<>south. And mainly because the energy from the sun is distributed by latitude due to the angle between surface and sun, not equally.
How does latitude affect the climate of various regions of the earth?
It affects the climate because the climate zone is determined by the line of latitude.
