1. What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather is the daily change in the atmosphere of a place.
Climate is the average weather of a place over many years.
2. Why is the Torrid Zone the hottest zone on Earth?
Because it lies between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn and gets direct sunlight throughout the year.
3. How does altitude affect the climate of a place?
Places at high altitude like hills are cooler than places in plains because temperature drops as we go higher.
4. Explain how distance from the sea influences the temperature.
Places near the sea have moderate climate due to sea breezes, while faraway places may be too hot or too cold.
5. Why are places near the Equator hotter than those far from it?
Because they receive more direct sunlight, making them hotter.
