☀️ On the basis of the different amount of heat received by the sun there are three heat zones of the Earth ::
⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Torrid Zone –
It lies between the Tropic Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. It is the hottest zone of the Earth which receives direct rays of the Sun throughout the year.
Temperate Zone –
This zone has moderate temperature [ neither too hot nor too cold ] as it receives slanting rays of the sun.
Temperate zone is in two parts :
- Northern temperate zone

- Southern temperate zone
It lies between Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle in the southern hemisphere.
Frigid Zone –
This zone is the coolest zone as it receive extremely slanting rays of the Sun.

- Northern Frigid Zone
It lies between Arctic circle and North pole in the northern hemisphere.
