Detailed explanation-1: -Most people equate Canada with snow and cold temperature. Because of its location north of the Equator, it does experience cold weather.
Detailed explanation-2: -How is Canada’s climate related to its northerly location? The farther north you go in Canada, the colder it gets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Canada-Climate. Most of northern Canada has subarctic or arctic climates, with long cold winters lasting 8 to 11 months, short sunny summers, and little precipitation.
Detailed explanation-4: -This variety, ranging from tundra to tropical, occurs because the country extends over such a large area north to south. Most of the United States is located in the mid-latitudes, where the climates are moderate. Canada is colder because so much of it lies far north in the higher latitudes.
Detailed explanation-5: -The northern two-thirds of the country has a climate similar to that of northern Scandinavia, with very cold winters and short, cool summers. The central southern area of the interior plains has a typical continental climate-very cold winters, hot summers, and relatively sparse precipitation.
