Answers
Answer:
The five main latitude regions of Earth's surface comprise geographical zones[1], divided by the major circles of latitude. The differences between them relate to climate. They are as follows:
The North Frigid Zone, between the North Pole at 90° N and the Arctic Circle at 66° 33' N, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.
The North Temperate Zone, between the Arctic Circle at 66° 33' N and the Tropic of Cancer at 23° 27' N, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.
The Torrid Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer at 23° 27' N and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 27' S, covers 39.78% of Earth's surface.
The South Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 27' S and the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33' S, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.
The South Frigid Zone, from the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33' S and the South Pole at 90° S, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.

Explanation:
Weather : Weather describes whatever is happening outdoors in a given place at a given time. Weather is what happens from minute to minute. The weather can change a lot within a very short time. For example, it may rain for an hour and then become sunny and clear. Weather is what we hear about on the television news every night. Weather includes daily changes in precipitation, temperature, and wind conditions in a given location. What is your weather like today?
Climate
Meteorologists record weather every day. The continuous recording of weather information helps in determining the climate of an area. Climate describes the total of all weather occurring over a period of years in a given place. This includes average weather conditions, regular weather sequences (like winter, summer and monsoon), and special weather events (like tornadoes and floods). Climate tells us what it's usually like in the place where you live. Manali has a cold climate, Mumbai has a humid climate. How would you describe the climate where you live?

What makes the climate change from place to place? There are a number of factors which affect the climate of a place. Following are the important factors affecting the climate.
1) DISTANCE FROM THE EQUATOR:
For understanding the influence of this factor, first it is important to know the climatic zones of the earth.
Picture
There are three climatic zones:
1) Torrid Zone: The areas from 0° to 23½° to the north and south of equator is called the hot or Torrid Zone. The sunrays fall straight on the Torrid Zone and so the places near the equator are extremely hot.
2) Temperate Zone: The areas from 23½° to 66½° to the north and south of the equator is called the Temperate Zone. The slanting rays of the sun fall over a large area and are less hot and so the places in the Temperate Zone are having a moderate climate.
3) Frigid Zone. The areas from 66½° to 90° from the north and the south of the equator is called the Frigid Zone. The sun rays are very slanting at the poles and so it does not receive any sunlight for months together. Therefore, places in the Frigid Zone are extremely cold throughout the year.
Direction of the winds:
The movement of the air from one direction to the other is called wind. The winds while blowing in various direction carry along with them the cool sea breeze or hot air. The temperature of the place becomes cool when winds get sea air or moist winds with them. In the same way when winds carry hot winds with them they raise the temperature of the region they are blowing through. Sometimes, winds cause rains at some places by carrying clouds with them. Thus winds help in modifying the climatic conditions of a place.
