Question

-) Answer the following.
(1) Explain with a diagram, the effect of
the spherical shape of the earth on the
temperature at different latitudes.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The spherical shape of planet Earth hugely affects the temperature at different latitudes. Just because of Earth's spherical shape the regions of equators get intense sunlight than the regions of north and south poles. ... Polar zone gets less sunlight and hence these regions are colder then temperate and tropical zones.26

Answer 2

Due to the spherical shape of the earth and the resultant curvature of the surface, the sun rays occupy a larger or lesser area. This leads to unequal distribution of the heat received from the sun, resulting in decreasing temperature from the equator to the North and South Poles.

Based on the distribution of temperature, the earth can be divided into torrid, temperate and frigid zones or tropical, temperate and polar regions.
