Clime
The seven climes (klima, plural klimata, meaning "inclination", referring to the angle between the axis of the
celestial sphere and the horizon) was a notion of dividing the Earth into zones in
Classical Antiquity. The lists of klimata found in early geographers vary in their extension, but by convention, they numbered seven, counted from south to north. This number was taken up by
Ptolemy who in his Geography divided the northern temperate zone into seven zones (klimata).
