true or false: the higher latitudes are cooler than the lower latitudes.

True

Explanation:

For example, the higher the latitude of a given place (the farther away it is from the equator), the sharper the angle of the sun's rays that reach it, meaning that the rays of the sun are spread across a broader area. Therefore, higher latitudes receive less heat than lower latitude areas nearer the equator.
