Time is not a factor affecting climate.
Altitude, Latitude and Relief are factors affecting climate.
Reasons are as follows:
Latitude:
- The areas closest to the equator are warmer than those further away.
- Because the sun's rays fall vertically on the equator and slantingly in the temperate and polar areas.
- The vertical rays have a smaller area of focus than the slanting ones.
Altitude:
- Mountains are known to be colder than the lowlands.
- Shimla, which is at a higher elevation, is cooler than Jalandhar, even though they are virtually on the same latitude.
- The temperature drops as the elevation of a location rises.
Relief:
- Because the heat is concentrated more on the gentler slope, the temperature of the air above them rises.
- The temperature is lowered by its decreased concentration on steeper slopes.
- Mountain slopes facing the sun, on the other hand, are warmer than those facing away from the sun's beams.
- The Himalayan southern slopes are warmer than the northern slopes.
