Is Longitude is an important factor in determining climate of a place?

Answer 1

Longitude doesn't affect an area's climate because the Earth only wobbles on its axis in a vertical fashion. Besides that fact, the Earth is constantly spinning which ensures that all longitudes of the Earth receives as much sunlight and strength of sunlight as the other longitudes that lie at that latitude. While climates do vary from one specific longitude to another this is because of other factors, such as weather patterns, and not because of the longitude itself

Answer 2

Latitude is one among the geographical factors that affects the climate in various parts of the earth. Latitude effects climate due to the differential heating of the earth. At the Equator, the sun's radiation strikes the earth at a more direct angle than at the pole. Therefore it takes less radiation to heat up a given amount of land at the equator than it does at the poles.

Answer 3

Yes, longitude is an important factor in determining climate as it helps in understanding the position of a place on the Earth's surface, which influences factors such as daylight hours, angle of the sun, and temperature variations throughout the year. Places at similar latitudes but different longitudes can have varying climates due to differences in proximity to bodies of water, mountains, or ocean currents.

Answer 4

It would be latitude more than longitude that contributes to earth's climate.
