The Earth’s climate depends on the different exposure of the planet to the Sun’s rays. There are five climate zones: one torrid zone, two temperate zones, and two polar zones. The torrid zone lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, where the Sun’s rays are almost perpendicular all year and there is one main season. The temperate zones have a mild climate and four seasons: the boreal zone in the north and the austral zone in the south. The polar zones are very cold because the Sun’s rays arrive very slanted; they have two seasons, with long periods of light or darkness. The Tropics separate the torrid zone from the temperate zones, while the Polar Circles separate the temperate zones from the polar ones. Different climates create different natural environments on Earth.
