Heat zones of the earth surface are categorized into Torrid, Temperate, and Frigid zones. The Torrid Zone lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, experiencing the most direct sunlight. The Temperate Zones have milder climates and are situated between the Arctic and Antarctic C
