Question

Explain how latitude affect the temperature of a place

Answer 1

Latitude is one of the main factors affecting temperature. Latitude is the measurement of the distance of a location on the Earth from the equator. The further away from the equator that you are the less sunlight that this location receives. This has to do with the shape of the earth. Since Earth is round, not every place receives the same amount of sunlight, or heat. Another reason is due to the angle of solar incidence, this is the angle at which the Sun's rays strike the Earth's surface. At the Equator, the Sun's rays strike the Earth at a right angle, which makes the heat more intense and concentrated over a small area. Less heat is lost to the atmosphere as the rays travel a shorter distance through the atmosphere.
At the poles, the Sun's rays strike the Earth at an acute angle, this spreads the heat over a larger area. More heat is lost to the atmosphere as the rays travel a longer distance through the atmosphere.

Answer 2

Answer: Temperature depends on the latitude of a place .

-temperature decreases with the increase in latitude on either side of the equator due to spherical shape of the earth and its annual revolution around the sun.

-sun's rays strike there at varying angles of incidence owning two spherical shape of the earth and its inclination on its axis. Oblique or slanting not only travel long distance but also heat a large area thus they have less heating power with this sun is almost overhead within the tropics but at oblique angles outside the tropics .

the above two factors indicate that higher the latitude the colder is the place on this basis the earth is divided into five temperate zones these are the torres zone between the tropic of cancer and capricorn;

the north temperate zone and the south temperate zone and the two frigid zones.

The sun's rays which fall over the torrid zone travel shorter distance and heat up a smaller surface area leading to a higher temperature .

Beyond the torrid zone sun's rays travel longer distance this is because of inclined axis and revolution of earth on its actions much of the heat is absorbed by clouds and water vapour and dust particles the sun's rays fall in slanting position and heat up a larger area.

Beyond the temperature goes on falling , there are however other factors as well that influence the climate and air temperature .

yeah the answer is lengthy but if read completely will do good
