Best Answer

latitude affects precipitation (rainfall) because places near the equator are generally hotter and more humid than regions near the poles. When hot and humid air rises it freezes and looses humidity. The humidity is now released into the air and there is condensation. The condensation produces clouds and it rains. This does not happen much near poles because of the lack of humidity.
