Solution

The correct answer is "the curvature of Earth and the tilt of its axis". This is because the Earth's tilt on its axis results in different parts of the Earth receiving varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. The equatorial regions receive a consistent amount of sunlight, leading to warm temperatures year-round. In contrast, nonequatorial regions receive less sunlight and experience lower temperatures and seasonal changes.
