What is the primary reason for a difference climate between new york and florida? is it latitude or longitude

Latitude would be your answer.

The climate in Florida is usually going to be a lot warmer than New York.

A reason for this is Florida is much closer to the equator. The closer a place is to the equator. Its going to mean that place is most of the time going to be warmer.

The reason for it being warmer at the equator is because the sun is closer. Meaning heat gets there easier.

I do hope this helps!
