So there's actually two answers to this question.  The Gulf Stream is part of the reason why Britain is warmer, since it carries so much warm water, but the difference between a maritime and a continental climate is more important. At the latitudes of Canada and Britain, the prevailing winds are coming from the west. If you're in the east, the prevailing winds are gonna have to travel all the way across the ocean, which will lead to it being warmer in the winter, and colder in the summer.  If you've got thousands of miles of continent out to windward, your climate will be more extreme. If you're going across the entire ocean, it's gonna be more mild, and predictable. Continents just get hotter and colder than oceans, and this affects the temperature of the atmosphere passing over them.

Why are astronauts (and other objects) weightless inside the International Space Station as it orbits Earth?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

It´s because of the lack of the gravity factor that´s present on the surface of Earth. This makes bodies and objects so light and they practically float in the station´s interior. Earth´s gravity is simply weaker the further you are from it.

How are Norway and Spain similar in climate? How are they different?
loris [4]
Hi Moran

I don't think there is a big different at all but what I know is that Norway is colder and has more rain.

Another different is because Spain is closer to the equator but Norway is closer to the arctic.


I hope that's help ! Have a nice day :)

Define and explain the significance of longitude
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Latitude and longitude are imaginary lines that help us label every place on the surface of the earth. The most important line of latitude is the equator, which runs horizontally around the fattest part of the earth. The most important longitude line is the Prime Meridian which runs vertically and goes through Greenwich, England. Another important longitude line is the international date line, which goes vertically through the middle of the ocean opposite the Prime Meridian. Hope It Helps
