WHAT DOES CLIME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Clime

Clime is a concept of referring to the angle between the axis of the celestial sphere and the horizon, and the terrestrial latitude characterized by this angle. In most cases, it can safely be translated as “latitude”. Normally, klimata were defined by the length of the longest daylight and associated with specific geographical locations. Different lists of klimata were in use in Hellenistic and Roman time. Claudius Ptolemy was the first ancient scientist known to have devised the so-called system of seven klimata which, due to his authority, became one of the canonical elements of late antique, medieval European and Arab geography. Klimata should not be confused with modern climatic zones or with the word Climate, although the latter derive their name from the former. Traditionally, starting with Aristotle, the Earth was divided into five zones, assuming two frigid climes around the poles, an uninhabitable torrid clime near the equator, and two temperate climes between the frigid and the torrid ones.
