Explain how latitudinal location influences distribution of temperature on earth.

Latitude refers to the distance between the locations on the earth from the equator. The land nearer to the latitude receives more sunlight as compare the land away from the equator. This is the reason the sunlight is extreme in the location nearer to the equator. Tropical regions experience more sunlight because rays of the sun are vertical thus receives more energy. On reaching close to the poles the angle of incidence of the sun's rays becomes more slanting. Due to this, there is a loss of energy because the sun has to travel through the atmosphere more.

NOTE – Tropical regions refers to the area nearer to the equator.
