What are the patterns of temperature distribution on Earth?

The temperature is distributed unevenly on the planet’s surface, since the sun’s rays hit different parts of the Earth in an unequal amount due to the spherical shape of the planet and its tilt relative to its orbit. So, only the equatorial belt is almost at a right angle to the Sun, and therefore, at a given latitude, it is stable warm and humid. As you move north or south towards the poles, temperatures and precipitation begin to drop as less heat from the sun reaches here.
