Latitude helps in determining the climate of any region by dividing the Earth into three zones based on its distance from the equator, which are the Torrid Zone, Temperate Zone, and Frigid Zone.
The Torrid Zone, which is located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, receives the most direct sunlight throughout the year and therefore has a consistently warm climate.
The Temperate Zone, which is located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle in the Southern Hemisphere, receives varying amounts of direct sunlight throughout the year and therefore has a climate that varies with the seasons.
The Frigid Zone, which is located near the poles, receives very little direct sunlight throughout the year and therefore has a consistently cold climate.
