Question 1

What is the difference between weather and climate?

Answer

Weather is defined as the state of air temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, precipitation and winds in the atmosphere at a given place and time. The conditions of different elements of weather keep changing from time to time and from place to place. Thus, the change in weather is a continuous phenomenon. Climate is defined as the average overall condition of the air temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, precipitation and winds over a large region and for a long period of time. The climate of a place remains more or less the same year after year.
