Does latitude affect precipitation and temperature?

Answer 1

Latitude effects climate depending on how close you are to the equator. If you are close to the equator then the climate is warmer, if your farther away then it is colder, in general. The reason for this is that the closer you are to the equator, the more directly the sun's rays go through the Earth's atmosphere. This rule is complicated by many things, including ocean currents and weather patterns, but in general: the closer you are to the equator, the warmer it will be.

Answer 2

To some degree, yes latitude can affect temperature. What can also affect temperature for example could be a passage of a frontal boundary. So, I guess overall latitude plays some part in temperature, but there are a lot of other things that can affect temperature regardless of latitude.

Answer 3

Latitude does in fact affect temperature because between 23.5 degrees north and south or better known as the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn receives a 90 degree of insolation at least once a year and insolation affects temperature that is why the North Pole is so cold because it has such a high latitude and Florida and Hawaii are so warm because they have lower latitudes. Latitude does in fact affect temperature case closed.

Answer 4

Yes, latitude does affect weather. For example, the higher or lower the latitude, the colder it gets. This is due to the sunlight shining on the different parts of Earth. Sunlight shining at the equator is more concentrated, thus producing more heat. However, as it advances up or down Earth, sunlight gets spread over a larger area, thus becomes colder. This explains why the poles are mcuh colder than the equatorial region.

Answer 5

yes of course it affects in many ways.
