temperate zone
Arctic falls in the Frigid zone. The areas of the earth is divided in to zones viz torrid zone, frigid zone, temperate zone(both south and northern hemisphere) based on the amount of sunlight it receives. The presence of arctic is in such a way that it gets minimum sunlight compared to the torrid zone where the exposure to sunlight is maximum. Areas in torrid zone, temperate zones gets considerable amount of sunlight compared to frigid zone which makes arctic cold and thus leads to formation of ice from water bodies present in arctic. The same is applicable to both the poles of the earth arctic and antarctic. While the above is basically correct, it should be noted that these climate zone delineations (frigid, torrid, and temperate) were devised by the Greeks and are terribly simplistic (and very much antiquated) representations of the Earth's climate today!
India lies in the tropical zone, specifically in the tropical region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator.
The Hottest Part of the Earth's Zones is The Tropic of Caner/Capricorn (23.5*) (South and North)
torrid zone is the heatest zone of earth as compared to temperate zone. the torrid zone lies between tropics of cancer & capricorn, while the temperate zone has been divided into 2, the north temperate zone which lies between tropic of cancer & arctic circle, the south temperate zone lies between tropicof capricorn & antarctic circle.
temperate zone
It is a temperate zone which means that the sun is not directly overhead, and we experience the four seasons with temperatures that range from cold to warm.
New York is in the temperate zone. It experiences four distinct seasons throughout the year –spring, summer, fall, and winter. The state has a varied climate with hot summers and cold winters, which is characteristic of the temperate zone.
Torrid zone
The North Frigid Zone, north of the Arctic CircleThe North Temperate Zone, between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of CancerThe Torrid Zone, between the Tropical CirclesThe South Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic CircleThe South Frigid Zone, south of the Antarctic Circle
Temperate
Zaire is located near the equator in Africa, so it falls primarily within the torrid zone. This means it experiences high temperatures and humidity throughout the year.
