FranAt latitudes farther from the equator, the climate tends to be colder due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth. Seasons are more pronounced with greater variations in daylight hours throughout the year. Additionally, precipitation patterns may be more affected by the presence of large bodies of water or mountain ranges.

Why is it cooler farther away from the equator?
Areas farther away from the equator receive less direct sunlight, causing them to have lower average temperatures. Additionally, the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface at higher latitudes results in less heat being absorbed by the atmosphere. These factors combine to make it cooler the farther away from the equator you go.
Why equator is ideal basis for all latitudes?
Because its the foundation for the all latitudes and all latitudes start to originate up and down from the equator.
Why are climates located farther from the equator cooler than those to the equator?
Climates farther from the equator receive less direct sunlight due to the curvature of the Earth, resulting in cooler temperatures. Additionally, the angle at which sunlight reaches the Earth's surface at higher latitudes leads to less heat being absorbed, contributing to cooler temperatures in these regions.
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
Are the latitudes in Iceland positive or negative?
There are no negative latitudes, its either north or south(of the equator). As you go up, or north from the equator, the latitudes go up. As you go south and move below the equator the latitudes go up as you move south. 63°17′N to 67°08′09″N, this is the range for Iceland.
