- The image displays a diagram of Earth divided into five major climatic zones based on latitude.
- The zones are labeled from north to south: Polar Zone (Arctic), Temperate Zone, Tropical Zone, Temperate Zone, and Polar Zone (Antarctic).
- Key latitudinal lines are marked: 90° N (North Pole), 66.5° N (Arctic Circle), 23.5° N (Tropic of Cancer), 0° (Equator), 23.5° S (Tropic of Capricorn), 66.5° S (Antarctic Circle), and 90° S (South Pole).
- The Tropical Zone lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° N to 23.5° S).
- The Temperate Zones lie between the Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circles (23.5° to 66.5° N/S).
- The Polar Zones lie beyond the Arctic and Antarctic Circles (66.5° to 90° N/S).
- This division reflects how solar radiation varies with latitude, influencing climate patterns globally.
