Mild temperature and long cloudless summer is experienced. The winter is mild and comfortable. Trees shed leaves during autumn which falls before winter.


Red,Orange and Yellow leaves scatter all over the place like a bed.

Latitudes

Latitudes are drawn as angular measurement from the centre of the Earth. Each Latitude of the globe is drawn at specific angular distance. The 40° North latitude is drawn in this manner in the picture given below.

Latitudes are the angular distance from the south or north of the equator, considering the Earth's centre as a plane suface. Since we take the equator as the Basic latitude, it is being considered as 0° Latitude. All Latitudes are parallel to the Equator.
