what is the relationship between latitude and climate?
Latitude and Climate. One of the most important factors determining your climate is your latitude. Between 23.5S and 23.5N latitude we have the tropics - where high temperatures are the norm, and the sun can beat down from directly overhead once or twice each year. From 23.5N to 66.5N and between 23.5S and 66.5S are the temperate zones, where there are clear spring/summer/fall/winter seasons.
