# Zones of the Earth (Torrid, Temperate and Frigid) Since the earth is shaped like a ball, different parts of the earth receive different amounts of sunlight. The regions at the equator are nearer to the sun and receive direct sunlight, making these places hot. The regions near the poles, at higher latitudes are far from the sun and do not receive direct sunlight, making these places colder. Temperature zones are determined based on the intensity of heat received from the sun by a particular place. Based on this, the earth has been divided into three temperature zones or heat zones: - Torrid (Tropical) zone - Temperate zone - Frigid (Polar) zone ## Temperature Zones of the Earth The image shows a diagram of the earth with the following temperature zones: - **Torrid Zone:** Located between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S). - **Temperate Zones:** Located between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N) and the Arctic Circle (66.5° N) and between the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S) and the Antarctic Circle (66.5° S). - **Frigid Zones:** Located above the Arctic Circle (66.5° N) and below the Antarctic Circle (66.5° S). ## Earth's Climate Zones The image also shows a map of the earth with the following climate zones: - **Polar Zones:** Located at the North and South Poles. - **Temperate Zones:** Located between the Polar Zones and the Tropical Zones. - **Tropical Zones:** Located near the Equator (0°).
