Answer:
There are basically 6 factors affecting India's climate.
1) LATITUDE - INDIA IS DIVIDED BY THE TROPIC OF CANCER IN TO THE TROPICAL NORTH AND SUBTROPICAL SOUTH.Due to the curvature of the Earth, the amount of solar energy received is different according to the latitudes.
2) ALTITUDE - As we go higher, temperature generally decreases (From equator to poles) as the atmosphere becomes less dense.
3) PRESSURE AND WIND SYSTEM - They depend on the latitude and altitude of a place, thus influencing the rainfall patterns.
4) DISTANCE FROM SEA - The sea has a moderating effect on the climate. As distance from sea increases, this effect decreases and places experience extreme weather conditions (continentality).
5) OCEAN CURRENTS - They affect the climate of the coastal areas with the onshore winds.
6) INFLUENCE OF THE HIMALAYAS-THE HIMALAYAS ACT AS A CLIMATIC DIVIDE BY PREVENTING THE BITTER COLD WINDS OF SIBERIA FROM ENTERING INDIA SUBCONTINENT.
