The correct answers regarding how latitude affects climate are:
**a** - higher latitudes bring in cooler air
**d** - the closer to the equator, the warmer the climate becomes due to direct sunlight
Higher latitudes (further from the equator) typically experience cooler temperatures because the sun's rays strike the Earth at a more oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area. Conversely, areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer climates.
