The midlatitudes are the regions on Earth lying between 30° and 60° latitude from both equator and poles. They experience seasonal changes in climate throughout the year.
Imagine midlatitudes as your favorite restaurant that offers different menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner - just like these regions offer different climates throughout seasons!
Tropics: These are regions near equator between Tropic of Cancer & Tropic of Capricorn where it's generally hot all year round.
Polar Regions: These are areas around North & South poles characterized by extremely cold temperatures most times during year.
Temperate Zones: These zones lie between tropics & polar regions experiencing moderate temperatures rather than extremes hot or cold climates.
