Modifying factors The most important factors affecting climate are latitude, altitude, distance from the ocean and sea, orientation of mountain ranges toward prevailing winds, and the ocean current. Latitude is how far a place is north or south of the equator. Latitude affects climate in many ways. When a place has a high latitude or it's far from the equator it will receive less sunlight than places at low latitudes which are closer to the equator; thus affecting the climate. From a latitude of 66.5N (N for north) to the North Pole constitutes as the Arctic, while a latitude of 66.5S (S for south) to the South Pole is the Antarctic. Places within these areas classify as arctic climate zones and are covered in snow and ice all year round. This is due to their distance from the equator and how few sunlight theses places receive. Between a latitude of 23.5S and 23.5N is the tropical climate; a tropical bit of land and sea that goes around the globe on both sides of the equator. The tropic climate does not consist of the hottest temperatures however, because it is surrounded by oceans. But the temperatures are much warmer than that of the arctic climate.The temperate climate is between the arctic climate and the tropical climate zones and these places may experience more tropical climate (warmer weather) or a more arctic climate (cooler weather) or a mix of the both.
