What climate zone is found between the tropics and polar regions?

The climate zone found between the tropics and the polar regions is the temperate zone.

Temperate climates occupy Earth's middle latitudes, roughly from 23.5° to 66.5° north and south. They receive less direct sunlight than the tropics and more than the polar regions, producing greater seasonal variation. Many temperate regions experience spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Temperate climate does not mean identical weather everywhere. Ocean currents, altitude, prevailing winds, distance from the sea, and the size of nearby landmasses create major differences. Coastal areas may have mild oceanic conditions, while inland areas can have hot summers and very cold winters.

A common mix-up is confusing the temperate zone with a single climate type. It is a broad geographic belt containing several climate patterns, including oceanic, continental, Mediterranean, and some subtropical climates. The two broad temperate belts lie between the Tropic of Cancer and Arctic Circle, and between the Tropic of Capricorn and Antarctic Circle.
