Solution

Longitudes do not effect the climate because Earth is constantly spinning on its axis in a vertical manner which ensures that all longitudes ( which are vertical in nature) of the Earth receives as much sunlight and strength of sunlight as the other longitudes. Longitudes rather determine the time zone of a particular location.
