What exactly is weather? What is climate? How do the two differ? Could you say that one effects the other? Provide evidence to support your claim.

Thank you guys for the help :)
Please be detailed.

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time. ... If summers seem hotter lately, then the recent climate may have changed.
