Question

The city of Paris, France is at a latitude of 48o North. The city of Dubrovnik, Croatia is at a latitude of 42o North. Based on this information, what can you predict about the temperature of the cities compared to each other? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

The city of Paris, France which is at latitude of 48 degree North would be colder (due to lower temperature ) than the city of Dubrovnik, Croatia at a latitude of 42 degree North of the Euqator.

This is because, the farther the city is from the equator (which is based on the latitude of the city in question ) the colder the city would be. Since France is 5,116.57 km north of the equator when compared to Croatia 5,023.88 km north of the equator, the city of France (Paris) would be colder.
