How is the equator related to the amount of sunlight a climate zone receives? Please answer this fast!!! It's due tomorrow!! And
Sedaia [141]
The earth orbits the sun. Due to this fact, the northern and the southern hemisphere are tipped toward the sun at different times. Different climate zones fall under the southern and the northern hemisphere. There are many factors which affect the climate of a place and the most important one out of these factors is LATITUDE. Latitude refers to how far or close an area is to the north or the south of the equator. The latitude of a place determines the length and the intensity of sunlight that that place will experience. Thus, a place that is closer to the equator will continuously receive a lot of direct sunlight  and such a place will have a warm climate.
