Explanation:
Distance from the Equator affects the climate of the countries situated nearby it.
The countries that are located closer to the Equator have higher temperatures throughout the year (may vary during season, depending on country to country). It is because the rays of the sun fall directly on the Equator.
As we keep moving towards the poles, i.e., the North Pole and the South Pole, the temperature gets cooler as the rays of sun rarely fall upon the Poles. Hence, the countries located near the Poles have a quite different clime as that of the countries situated near the Equator.
So, the distance from the Equator affects the climate.
