Percent of surface area
The tropics are said to be permanently 80% of surface area and sometimes more, while the permanent arctic regions are 40% of surface area. Clearly there has to be some permanent overlap, as the DYK hook in fact suggests. The individual definitions in the article do allow for this. However, the article text does not make it explicit. The additional "tropical arctic" zone, while canon, may actually confuse the issue further, since it seems to be a derivative zone (subzone?) rather than a fully separated zone. (In this sense, polar might be considered a subzone of the arctic region -- although with the orbital angle, there might possibly be polar regions which are not also arctic regions?) Should it be explained explicitly that the core three zones are not in any way intended to be completely exclusive of one another? I hesitate to do it myself, in case I have misunderstood. - Tenebris 66.11.171.90 (talk) 01:08, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You should be bold and make adjustments to the article yourself! Wikipedia is built on volunteer initiative. You can be the volunteer to improve this article. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:04, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Something tells me you did not read my whole comment. I specifically said I hesitated to do it myself, in case I have misunderstood. You have not helped in my not being sure about misunderstanding; and I am not the kind of person to spread misinformation just because I want to edit. (But hey, an A for personal affirmation!) - Tenebris 66.11.165.101 (talk) 00:50, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
