3 Main Climate Zones

Discover the characteristics of the three main climate zones on Earth - the Polar Zone, Temperate Zone, and Tropical Zone. The Polar Zone is located at the North and South Poles, with the coldest average temperatures among all climate zones. In this zone, temperatures in winter can drop below freezing at -17°F, while summer averages around 41°F. The Temperate Zone spans from about 30° to 60° North and South of the equator, offering mild season changes with winter temperatures averaging 32°F and summer temperatures around 82°F. The Tropical Zone lies from 0° North and South of the equator, receiving the most direct sunlight and featuring hot average temperatures, except at high elevations. Winter temperatures in the Tropical Zone hover around 77°F, while summer temperatures average at 82°F and can get even higher. Explore these diverse climate zones to understand the planet's varied weather patterns.
