The difference between tropical and temperate climates is mainly the result of D. The amount of direct sunlight to reach Earth's surface.

Tropical climates are located near the equator where the sun's rays are more direct year-round, leading to warmer temperatures and less variation. In contrast, temperate climates experience more variation in sunlight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, resulting in distinct seasonal changes in temperature and precipitation.
