What is/are responsible for creating variation in climate and weather at different latitudes?

Varying amounts of sunlight falling over different latitudes is what is responsible for the variations in weather and climate

Explanation:

The greater the latitude of a given place means that it is farther away from the equator and hence the Sun's rays reach the place at a sharper angle thus causing the rays to be spread across a greater area. And hence a place which is very far away from the equator will have less heat than a place that is nearer to the equator. The Earth's axis as we know is tilted. This tilt is responsible for the variation in the amount of sunlight a latitude receives during different seasons.
