islands belong to larger groups, like the Moluccas (Spice Islands).

Climate
The climate of Indonesia is almost entirely tropical. The uniformly
warm waters that make up 81% of Indonesia’s area ensures that
temperatures on land remain fairly constant, with the coastal
plains averaging 28 °C, the inland and mountain areas averaging
26 °C, and the higher mountain regions, 23 °C. Temperature varies
little from season to season, and Indonesia experiences relatively
little change in the length of daylight hours from one season to                         You can also follow the
