Explanation:
The term weather refers to the state of the atmosphere of a particular place, over a short period of time. It can be hot, cold, windy, cloudy or humid. In some places, it changes from day-to-day, in others, it remains the same every day of the year. If weather remains same for a longer duration, then it is considered as climate.

Weather tells us about the changes that take place in the atmosphere at a given place and time. While the characteristic pattern of weather elements over a period of time is called climate.
