Answer (2)

The primary factor responsible for creating variations in climate and weather at different latitudes is the differential heating from the sun due to varying angles of sunlight. Areas closer to the equator experience warmer temperatures, while polar regions are colder. Other factors such as seasons and atmospheric circulation further influence local climates. ;

The key reason for variations in climate and weather at different latitudes is the differing levels of sunlight that reach the Earth due to its curvature. This results in warmer temperatures near the equator and cooler conditions towards the poles, supplemented by seasonal changes and atmospheric circulation. Option A: Different levels of sunlight at different latitudes is the correct choice.
