because of the earths axis, different parts of the globe get hit by sunlight more directly then others. The equater gets hit most directly so it is the warmest. The farther away from the equater you are, the less directly the sun hits you.

How far a location is from equator effects?

The distance from the equator affects the climate of a location. Areas closer to the equator tend to have a warmer climate with less temperature variation throughout the year, while areas farther from the equator experience more seasonal temperature changes. Additionally, proximity to the equator influences the length and intensity of daylight hours.


Australia is what of the equator?

The only equator is the equator of the Earth, that is, its center line which is half way between the north pole and the south pole. Australia (which means 'south place') is well south of the equator.


How does the climate affect the way you make a living?

because if you are in mountain, then you have a different apperence.


What places are affected by latitude?

Places near the equator receive more direct sunlight and have warmer temperatures, while places closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight and have colder temperatures. The amount of daylight also varies with latitude, leading to differences in the length of days and nights. Additionally, the climate and vegetation types change with latitude, influencing the ecosystems that can thrive in different regions.


What line of latitude always receives direct sunlight and would be the hottest place on earth if only latitude were considered when determining climate?

There's no place on Earth that always receives direct sunlight. The closest to it would be the Equator, where the sun goes from overhead to 23 degrees one way to overhead to 23 degrees the other way and back to overhead, in the course of a year. And you're right ... if latitude were the only component of climate, then the hottest would be all along the equator.

What ways do land and water affect climate in south America?

There are three ways that land and water affect climate in South America. The first way is a rain shadow which mean mountains cause dry climate. Another way is El Nino. This means that warm currents bring rain. The last way is that high elevations have cold climate. As you can see, there are three ways that land and water affect climate in South America.
