How does the latitude affect the average temperature of a location?

• Its doesn't, the time of year affects the temperature.

• Locations closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight than locations near the poles, so they tend to be warmer.

• The latitude has no effect on temperature.

• It only matters when locations are in the North or South poles.
