Question

why does temperature vary according to latitude?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$Answer࿐$

Explanation:

You have learned that the global mean temperature is controlled by the balance of incoming energy from the sun and outgoing energy from Earth. However, as you also know, temperature varies from one location to another. What accounts for this variability? The temperature in a certain place is influenced by four main factors. The most important factor is a location's latitude, which is the angular distance, expressed in degrees and minutes, north or south of the equator. Other factors include the location's proximity to a body of water, the temperature of ocean currents if the location is near the coast, and the location's elevation above sea level.

Towards the poles the slant of the rays increase gradually with the increasing latitude. ... At the poles the sun rays are very slant, so less solar radiation and less solar energy is gained i.e. more cold. So temperature varies according to latitude.
