Hi there,

Equatorial zone: Receives the most sunlight annually, and is constantly warm and humid due to the increased evaporation rates.

Mid Equator/Polar zone: Has a more milder climate with cooler temperatures, as well as progressively less humidity as you further south.

South pole zone: Has a very dry climate with cold temperatures, due to significantly less evaporation and frozen ice.
