How does latitude afect climate?

Answer 1

Latitude affects climate because of the shape and tilt of the earth. for most of the year the tropical latitudes receive the most sunlight, and their for have a warmer over all climate. the further north or south you get of the equator the less sunlight the region receives depending on the time of year (in summer your hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, whilst in winter your hemisphere is tiled away from the sun). Because there is less sunlight in the extreme north and south of the planet the overall climate is colder the closer you get to the poles. it is easier to eplain in person so if this doesn't make sense try finding someone who does know and ask them to explain. there are some websites that give good visuals but it has been years since I learned that stuff.

Answer 2

Latitude affects climate by determining the angle of the sun's rays hitting the Earth's surface. Areas near the equator receive more direct sunlight and tend to be warmer, while areas closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight and are therefore cooler. This difference in sunlight angle influences temperature, rainfall patterns, and overall climate.

Answer 3

The closer to the equator, the hotter the place, the further away, the colder the place.

Answer 4

Latitude affects climate based on the seasons and their relative distance from the Equator. Generally, places close to the equator will be much warmer.

Answer 5

The sun strikes the Earth most ermm... strongly at the equator, so as distance from the equator increases, the temperature decreases. Latitude basically tells distance from the equator.

Answer 6

the climates keep changing..
