What is the difference in the angle of the sun between low-latitude regions and middle- and high-latitude regions?

Answer 1

Zero degrees latitude starts at the equator. As you go up or down from the equator, latitude increases from 0 to 90 degrees. The most northern point, the geographic North pole is 90 degrees North. The most south point, the geographic South pole is 90 degrees South. Close to the pole is high latitude and close to the equator is low latitude. Higher latitudes are generally colder and lower latitudes are more tropical due to the amount of solar radiation received.

Answer 2

High and low latitudes are the imaginary circles drawn around the Earth which are parallel to the equator. High latitudes are situated above 60 degree magnetic latitude while everything below the 50 degree magnetic latitude are low latitudes.

Answer 3

The angle of the Sun will decrease as latitude increases. The angle of the Sun is almost at 90 degrees at the equator. Thus, the Sun seems to be shining directly overhead. The sunlight received at the equator is the most concentrated due to the angle, which makes it very hot. As latitude increases, the angle of the Sun will start to decrease. When at the North or South poles, the Sun will seem to come out from the ground, and sometimes, the Sun does not rise at all. This is due to the extreme angle that the Sun is shining at, and paired with the tilting of the Earth. The middle or high latitude areas will seem colder than at the equator, because since the Sun is shining at a 'slanted' angle, the light rays will spread out over a larger area and heat up Earths surface at a slower speed.

Answer 4

The climate is tropical in the low latitudes while the climate is temperate in the mid latitudes. There will be all four seasons in the mid latitudes while the low latitudes will only experience a dry and a wet season all year round. The Sun will shine overhead at low latitudes, resulting in the tropical region being very hot. However, in the mid latitudes, the Sun will shine at an angle, so that the sun rays are more spread out and heat the region up slower. Prevailing winds are very common and sometimes very strong int he mid latitudes, for example, the Roaring Forties. Tropical forests are found in the low latitudes whereas temperate forests are found in the mid latitudes.

Answer 5

High latitude is situated around the 60° magnetic latitude and higher. Everything below the 50° magnetic latitude is in the category of low latitude.

High latitude is located on the outer sides of earth. Low latitude is located in the middle of earth.
