Question

what is the effect of latitude on temperature ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Sun’s rays strike the surface of the earth at different angles from the equator

(0°) to the poles (90°). While the Equatorial regions get the vertical rays of the Sun

(intensely heats smaller area), the Polar Regions get the oblique rays of the Sun

(heat is distributed over larger area). So, the heating provided by the same amount

of sunlight is more in the equatorial region and much lesser in the higher latitudes.

Hence, the temperature decreases sharply towards the poles.
