The earth is tilted at an angle of 66.5 degrees. So, not all surfaces of the Earth receive the direct rays of the sun throughout the year. The equatorial region (23.5 degrees North to 23.5 degrees South), receive the direct rays of the sun and remain warm throughout the year as it is concentrated over a smaller area of land.
As we move further away from the Equatorial region to the temperate zones (23.5 degrees to 66.5 degrees north and south), the rays coming to the Earth are more slanting and spread over a larger area of land so the heat is concentrated over a large area making it relatively cooler.
The Polar Region (66.5 degrees to 90 degrees North and South) receive very little sunshine and remain bitterly cold for nearly 6 months of the year.
On this basis the Earth is divided into 3 climatic zones- Equatorial (Torrid), Temperate and Polar Zones.

The five main temperature zones of the world are tropical, subtropical, temperate, subarctic, and polar zones. These zones are defined by their average temperature ranges and proximity to the equator or poles. Each zone has distinct characteristics in terms of climate and vegetation.

Temperatures in temperate zones typically vary throughout the year, with distinct seasons that bring changes in temperature. Winter months tend to be colder, while summer months are warmer. Overall, the climate in temperate zones is characterized by moderate temperatures.

Yes it is a good model for the earths dfferent zones
Stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere . :)
because of the earths rotation and revolution.
it depends on the deepth
The general order of climate zones from the equator to the poles is tropical, subtropical, temperate, subarctic, and polar. These zones are characterized by differences in temperature, precipitation, and vegetation. The transition between climate zones is not always abrupt and can vary depending on factors such as altitude and ocean currents.

Whichcontinents that's spread across the three temperature zones
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
