Understanding Earth's Climate Zones

The video explains Earth's three major climate zones: tropical, temperate, and polar. These zones are primarily defined by latitude. The tropical zone, located between 30 degrees South and 30 degrees North, is warm year-round. The temperate zone, between 30 and 60 degrees latitude, experiences seasonal temperature changes and is home to most of the world's population. The polar zones, found between 60 and 90 degrees latitude, are characterized by cold winters and cool summers.
