Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For example, polar regions (at the North and South poles) are far from the equator. These regions do not receive direct sunlight. As a result, the weather in the area is cold, even during the summer months. The climate in the region is therefore referred to as polar with cold temperatures most of the year.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polar Climates The two polar climate types, tundra and ice cap, lie within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles near the North and South Poles. In tundra climates, summers are short, but plants and animals are plentiful. Temperatures can average as high as 10° Celsius (50° Fahrenheit) in July.
