DID YOU KNOW THAT EQUATOR IMPACTS KENYA'S WEATHER?......
How? The ‘Equator’ is an imaginary line that stretches around the middle of the earth and divides the world into a northern and southern hemisphere. Places on the Equator receive 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night per day throughout the year AND do not experience the four seasons.
Did you know lines of latitude impact kenya's weather?
How? Lines of latitude go around the earth from east to west and tell you how far north or south of the Equator a place is. Lines of latitude have a big effect on the climate and weather of a country. The climate gets cooler as you move further north or south away from the Equator and you also get the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter). As the latitude increases (e.g., Arctic and Antarctic) less sunlight is received and this means it’s colder.
