The height measured from sea level is called altitude. When the latitude increases, the distant from the sun also increases, so the temperature gradually decreases. As the distance from the sea or ocean increases, the temperature increases. Angle of solar radiation and temperature at higher latitudes, the angle of solar radiation is smaller, causing energy to be spread over a larger area of the surface and cooler temperatures. As the earth is round, sunlight does not reach everywhere equally. The temperature decreases as we move from the equator to the poles. Altitude: As we move from the surface of the earth to the higher altitudes, the temperature decreases. India's climate relies upon its latitudinal degree. Tropic of Cancer isolates the country into two half. One is the tropical climate which lies south of the Tropic of cancer and another are the Subtropical climate which lies North of the Tropic of cancer. Latitude affects the temperature of a place. The places situated at higher altitudes which are far from equator receive less sunlight and places which are located towards the equator which is a 00 latitude receives more sunlight and are hotter than the places located at higher latitudes. In general, the farther from the equator an area is, the colder and snowier it will be. This is because higher-latitude regions receive less light and energy from the Sun than low-latitude, tropical areas. However, there is a relationship between latitude and temperature around the world, as temperatures are typically warmer approaching the Equator and cooler approaching the Poles. There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns.

There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns. In summer, the altitude influences the temperature variations more significantly with a July lapse rate of -4.3°C /km and the effect of latitude is only −0.28°C /olatitude. In winter, the reverse happens. The temperature decrease is mainly due to the increase in latitude. One of the key differences between weather and climate is that weather is a short-term phenomenon, while climate is a long-term phenomenon. Weather can change from minute to minute, while climate can change over the course of many years.During cold weather season the sun rays do not fall directly in the region. As a result the temperatures are quite low in northern India. In hot weather season the sun rays fall directly in the region. Hence, temperature becomes very high. As the Earth moves, the angle at which sunlight strikes different places on the Earth at the same time of day changes because the Earth is tilted. When a particular location is tilted towards the Sun, warmer temperatures occur when the same place is tilted away from the Sun, colder temperature occur.
