Answer:

Varying amounts of sunlight falling over different latitudes is what is responsible for the variations in weather and climate

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater the latitude of a given place means that it is farther away from the equator and hence the Sun's rays reach the place at a sharper angle thus causing the rays to be spread across a greater area. And hence a place which is very far away from the equator will have less heat than a place that is nearer to the equator. The Earth's axis as we know is tilted. This tilt is responsible for the variation in the amount of sunlight a latitude receives during different seasons.
