The Earth&#8217;s axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees, which causes the sun&#8217;s rays to hit different parts of the Earth at different angles. The areas that receive more direct sunlight are warmer, while the areas that receive less direct sunlight are cooler.<\/p>\n<p>Longitude is the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. It does not have a significant effect on climate.<\/p>\n<p>Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is. It is not the main factor determining a region&#8217;s climate. However, it does play a role in determining the type of climate a region has. For example, areas with high temperatures are more likely to have a tropical climate, while areas with low temperatures are more likely to have a polar climate.<\/p>\n<p>All of the above are not the correct answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;longitude&#8221;
