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. Sun heats the ocean surface and the ground intensely in tropical zones.
As the water bodies receive heat, it is transformed into moisture and rain happens. As Earth moves the dry air also moves out of the way from the equator and travels to temperate zones while moderately cool air from temperate zone takes its place.
Polar zone gets less sunlight and hence these regions are colder then temperate and tropical zones.

Answer:
due to the spherical shape of the earth and resultant curvature of the surface the sunraya occupy a larger or area on the surface of the earth.this leads to unequal distribution of the heat received from the sun.
