Answer: Latitudes affect the world climate as countries near the Equator experience warmer climatic conditions, whereas those near the Poles experience cold temperature.
Explanation: The latitudes near the Equator are subjected to almost direct rays of the sun. As a result countries situated near the Equator experience higher temperature conditions, and typically warm climate. Whereas, as the latitudes move farther away from the Equator, and towards the Poles, the sun's rays become less direct. Therefore, the countries situated near the Poles, and in the higher latitudes experience cold climate conditions. Especially those near the Poles experience extreme cold climate.
