The distance of an area fron the Equator determines how much heat it receives from the Sun.
The Earth has three climatic zones:
- The tropical zones. They are near the Equator. It is very hot all year round.
- The temperate zones. These are in both hemispheres. The summers are warm and the winters are cool. In some regions, it is rainy all year round. In other regions, it is dry and sunny in the summer.
- The polar zones. It is very cold all year round.
