Which factor affects the temperature difference between two places?

1. The question asks what makes one place warmer or cooler than another. 2. Altitude is one of the standard factors: temperature falls as height above sea level rises. 3. That is why a highland site is cooler than a lowland one at the same latitude. 4. Latitude, distance from the sea, ocean currents and cloud cover are the other standard factors. 5. The Solar System, the Sun and heavenly bodies are not factors that differ between two places on Earth, so none can explain a difference between them. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2021 Geography 013, Question 1: Multiple Choice Items, item (viii)_
