distingush between weather and climate

Answer ⤵️

  • What is weather?

➡️ Weather is the state of the atmosphere, describing for example the degree to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. Weather refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the averaging of atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time.

  • What is climate?

➡️ Climate means the usual condition of the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, and other Meteorology/meteorological Weather elements in an area of the Earth's surface for a long time. In simple terms climate is the average condition for about thirty years.

Differences ⤵️

  1. Weather is affected by temperature, pressure, humidity, cloudiness, wind, precipitation, rain, flooding, ice storms, etc. The climate is the long term observations of the atmospheric conditions at any location like humidity, temperature, the sunshine, wind, etc.
  2. The primary difference between weather, and climate is the duration over which they are measured. Weather includes the short-term changes of the atmospheric conditions, while climate is the observation of weather for a longer-term.
  3. Weather can change from minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate, is the average of weather over time and space.
  4. Weather has little affect on the occupation of the people (agriculture, industries and transport, etc.). Climate has deep affect on agriculture, industries and transport, etc. (the occupation of the people).

Combining the points in short.
