      Hello
      Its basically becasue we are further away from the equator that other countires – the equator is closest to the sun and therefore hotter – as you get further away from that line, it gets cooler. If you think, we are actually quite close to the arctic so thats why it gets colder here than in ethiopia for example

      It’s to do with our position on the globe and where th sun is i think but I gave up georgaphy when I was your age so I don’t really know what I’m talking about 😀
