What relationship exists between latitude and temperature patterns?

Question

thanks!

Answer 1

The equator is closest to the sun on the earth's surface. The farther one gets away from it the sunlight comes at an angle gradually and that means cooler weather. The earth is tilted however and that is why we have seasons. The Northern Hemisphere is more directly in the sun more than the Southern and the other way around later in the year.

Answer 2

The angle if incidence of the sun's rays at the earth's surface increases from the tropics towards the poles and therefore the amount of heat received on a given area diminishes in the same direction.Temperature is therefore normally highest in tropics(lower latitudes) and lowest in the polar(higher latitudes) regions.It has been  calculated that the yearly average temperature over the equator is 25 degree celcius whereas the same over the poles is -20(minus 20) degree celcius.Hence,the higher the latitude,the lower the temperature (at the same level).

Answer 3

well its the warmest at lower latitudes towards the equator and when the latitudes become higher and you get towards the poles, the temp dec.

Answer 4

As you increase in latitude, you decrease in average temperature. It is an "inverse relationship."
