1. it is Latitude. Kuala Lampur is located in the equatorial zone, (near the equator,) so it receives a lot of sun for the  entire year, and this explains its warm climate.

2. The main reason for this difference is the altitude: while Minsk is located at 280 meters over the sea level, Banff is located at approximately 1400 meters over the sea level. As the altitude is higher, the average temperature is lower.

3. which is closer to Jakarta  :   it is located at a similar altitude of Kuala Lampur (just in the opposite hemisphere),also  in the equatorial zone, while Baltimore is actually  located much more north, so its in a colder region.

4. Because they are located at approximately the same latitude (except just in the opposite hemisphere), so they are around the  same distance from the equator, and they receive around the  same amount of sun light, therefore they have pretty similar climate.
