Question

how does the annual temperature range depend on latitude?

why does the annual temperature range depend on latitude?

Answer 1

What is meant by Latitude

Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth.

As latitude increases, the sun shines more obliquely and provides less warming energy. The equator always faces the sun directly, so the climate is warm year-round, with the average day and night temperature hovering between 12.5 and 14.3 degrees Celsius (54.5 and 57.7 degrees Fahrenheit). At the poles, however, winter and summer temperatures show a wider variation. The average temperature in the Arctic varies from zero C (32 F) in summer to -40 C (-40 F) in winter, while in the Antarctic, the temperature varies from -28.2 C (-18 F) in summer to -60 C (-76 F) in winter. The Antarctic is colder for two reasons: it's a landmass, and it's at a higher elevation than the Arctic.

Due to the latitude the sun shine effects that region the annual temperature means it is a range which difference between hottest and coldest months...As we known because of latitude the temperature changing...So due to these changes...If latitude increases the temperature decreases...Due to based on these latitude the annual temperature ranges also effect...

This the reason for changes in climatic temperature due to latitude...
