Earth's Climate Zones and Characteristics

The video explains the Earth's heat zones, which are divided into Torrid, Temperate, and Frigid Zones based on the amount of sunlight received. The Torrid Zone, near the equator, is hot and humid. The Temperate Zones, between the tropics and polar circles, have moderate climates. The Frigid Zones, near the poles, are extremely cold with permafrost. Each zone's climate is influenced by the angle of the sun's rays.
