Climate is primarily controlled by factors that affect the distribution of solar radiation and heat transfer in the atmosphere and oceans. These include Latitude (influences angle of sun’s rays), Altitude (affects temperature and pressure), Proximity to water bodies, Ocean Currents, Prevailing Winds, Topography, and Vegetation Cover. Longitude primarily relates to position east-west and time zones and does not have a direct causal influence on climate.
