Answer:
A municipality is usually a single administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and regional laws to which it is subordinate.
The term municipality may also mean the governing or ruling body of a given municipality.[1] A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district.
The term is derived from French municipalité and Latin municipalis.[2] The English word municipality derives from the Latin social contract municipium (derived from a word meaning "duty holders"), referring to the Latin communities that supplied Rome with troops in exchange for their own incorporation into the Roman state (granting Roman citizenship to the inhabitants) while permitting the communities to retain their own local governments (a limited autonomy).
A municipality can be any political jurisdiction from a sovereign state, such as the Principality of Monaco, to a small village, such as West Hampton Dunes, New York.
The territory over which a municipality has jurisdiction may encompass
only one populated place such as a city, town, or village
several of such places (e.g., early jurisdictions in the U.S. state of New Jersey (1798–1899) as townships governing several villages, Municipalities of Mexico, Municipalities of Colombia)
only parts of such places, sometimes boroughs of a city such as the 34 municipalities of Santiago, Chile.[3]

Answer:
The Tropics receive more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer climates. The Poles receive almost no direct sunlight, resulting in a colder climate.
Explanation:
The tropics and the poles are two totally different regions on Earth. The differences can be seen in pretty much everything, from climate conditions to soil, geography, biosphere, precipitation, human activity, etc. One of the most noticeable and most important differences between the two is definitely the angle at which the sunlight falls.
The tropics are the region that receives sunlight at direct or close to direct angle all year round. This means highly concentrated sunlight and warm or hot weather conditions all year round. The poles are the region that receives sunlight at the lowest angle, having it constantly for around half a year, and then lacking it for half a year. This means very dispersed sunlight which can not warm up the surface and air, so the weather conditions are very cold all year round.
Because it is the coldest contintent on earth :)
The atmosphere helps us breathe along with animals, a radiation shield, weathering the storms, and helps plant life
