What major characteristic differentiates the Temperate climate zone (mid-latitudes) from both Tropical and Polar climate zones?

💡 Explanation:

Temperate zones, located between the tropics and the polar regions, are defined by having four distinct seasons (warm/hot summers and cool/cold winters), resulting from significant seasonal variation in the angle of the sun and day length. This seasonal change is largely absent in the uniformly warm Tropical zones and the perpetually cold Polar zones.
