Temperatures in these three climate zones are determined mainly by the location, or latitude, of the zone. 1  polar- has the coldest with temperatures almost always below freezing.  temperate- contains most of the Earthâs land masses with more moderate temperatures and rainfall year-round.
Latitude angles can range up to +90 degrees (or 90 degrees north), and down to -90 degrees (or 90 degrees south). Latitudes of +90 and -90 degrees correspond to the north and south geographic poles on the earth, respectively. Longitude is defined in terms of meridians, which are half-circles running from pole to pole.
