The difference between weather and climate is a measure or time. Weather refers to atmospheric conditions of a specific place over a short period or time,and climate refers to the average atmospheric conditions over relatively long periods of time usally over 30 years.

Answer:


\boxed {\tt See \ below}

Step-by-step explanation:

Weather and climate are often mixed up, but they are quite different.

Weather:

  • Weather is the measure of atmospheric conditions over a short period of time in a certain place. Weather changes all the time, for example, at the beginning of the day it could be cold and rainy, but by the afternoon it could be warmer and sunny.

Climate:

  • Climate is the measure of the same conditions over a much longer period of time. Climate is studied to predict and observe patterns of the weather in a certain region.
