How do you call the region that lies on the latitudes between equator and polar region?

The region between the equator and the north pole is called the "northern Hemisphere".
The region between the equator and the south pole is called the "Southern Hemisphere".
The two of them put together cover the whole earth.

Is the equator a polar region?
No, the equator could be said to be the opposite of the Polar regions.
What is the difference between a tropical and polar air mass?
A tropical air mass originates in the lower latitudes (closer to the equator) and is generally warm. A polar air mass originates in the higher latitudes (closer to one of the poles) and is generally cold.
What zone on earth has the most variation between seasons equatorial latitudes subtropical latitudes intermediate latitudes polar latitudes or all have an equal amount of change between seasons?
latitude
What effect does solar radiation have on climate when comparing the equator to polar-region?
Equator has a lower angular deflection of sunlight and therefore warmer temperatures
How much more direct sunlight does the polar region receive than the equator?
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
Is the equator a polar region?
No, the equator could be said to be the opposite of the Polar regions.
What is the definition of middle latitudes?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe mid-latitudes (sometimes midlatitudes) are the areas on earth between the tropics and the polar regions, approximately 30° to 60° north or south of the equator. The mid-latitudes are an important region in meteorology, having weather patterns which are generally distinct from weather in the tropics and the polar regions. Weather fronts and extratropical cyclones are usually found in this area, as well as occasional tropical cyclones which have traveled from their areas of formation closer to the equator.
What is the difference between a tropical and polar air mass?
A tropical air mass originates in the lower latitudes (closer to the equator) and is generally warm. A polar air mass originates in the higher latitudes (closer to one of the poles) and is generally cold.
If the arctic is under the equator like Australia how is it so cold?
The arctic is NOT "under the equator." It is at the north polar region. The Antarctic is at the south polar region; the average temp in the polar regions are much colder than at the equator.
What characterizes climate in middle latitudes?
low rates of evaporation(novanet/Gradpoint)
Surface between warm and cold air at about 60 degrees latitude?
The westerlies (winds from the west) which blow in the middle latitudes between 30 degrees and 60 degrees north and south of the equator. Also called the Polar Front
What zone on earth has the most variation between seasons equatorial latitudes subtropical latitudes intermediate latitudes polar latitudes or all have an equal amount of change between seasons?
latitude
Where are the tropics and polar region found?
Tropics- area near equator polar- area closer to the poles
Which region receive the most solar energy equatoria or polar regions?
The region on earth that receives the most solar energy is the equator. This is because the equator is the closest to the sun.
Does the sun have a revolution?
Yes. The Sun rotates every 25.5 days at the equator. Because the Sun is not solid, various regions rotate at different speeds. The polar regions rotate every 36 days, and in-between latitudes spin at in-between speeds.
What effect does solar radiation have on climate when comparing the equator to polar-region?
Equator has a lower angular deflection of sunlight and therefore warmer temperatures
Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
