Latitude and Temperature (Effects of Latitude on Climate)

Good Day!

In The past lesson, We've tackled about Types of Climate! Today, We'll move on to our new topic that is all about Latitude and Temperature!

Let's Start!

What is Temperature?

It is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment.

When we are sick our Mom/Dad will take our temperature to have a basis if we a fever! :>

Did you know?

That the highest temperatures ever recorded was 136 Fahrenheit in El Azizia, Libya! While the lowest temperatures ever recorded was -129 Fahrenheit in Vostok, Antarctica!

Wow! I think it is really hot n coooooold! Brrrrrrr!

Now that we now what Temperature is...

What is Latitude?

It is an imaginary line (in fact a circumference) around a planet running parallel to the planet's equator.

This is how it looks!

Latitudes are also with Longitudes but let's just only talk Latitudes now..

Latitudes are also used for tracking or finding location together with longitude.. It measure distance north or south from the equator.

It help us label every place on the surface of the earth.

The North Pole is 90 degrees N. latitude.

The South Pole is 90 degrees S. latitude.

So... How does the Latitude affect the Climate?

The further away from the equator that you are the less sunlight that this location receives...

So when the latitudes are lower, it receives direct sunlight that cause Warmer Climates..

And if the degree of the latitude increases, less sunlight and energy are absorbed that may cause Cooler Climates!

That's All for Today~!!

Thank You~!!
