It’s mefurash in the Tos’ in zevachim where R”T shitta is brought down that it is in reference to a specific latitude, namely that of Jerusalem (the location of the beis hamikdosh).
Now that we have established that, just what latitude exactly did you think R”T lived in, and why do you think that most people live closer to the equator? New York is farther north than, say, France.
Sounds like the fabrication here are the facts that tou, I mean jou, have presented.
